Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an overview of the bald eagle and its history in the United States and Alaska. The author gathered firsthand information in the 1940s from the stomachs of 500 deceased eagles, most of which were collected in coastal areas of southeastern Alaska. This book compiles and analyzes that data alongside previously collected research. Key topics include the bald eagle's diet, its place in the ecosystem as a predator and scavenger, and its historical and contemporary status as a protected species. The book also provides insight into the debates surrounding the bird's economic impact and the ethics of its protection. The author considers the past and present bounty laws enacted to protect fisheries and fox farming industries and discusses the contrasting attitudes toward the bird in Alaska and the contiguous United States. This book offers a well-rounded, historically contextualized understanding of the bald eagle and its dynamic relationship with humans and the environment, making it an essential reference for ornithologists, conservationists, and anyone interested in the history and ecology of this iconic bird.
