Golden Eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) and Bald Eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) are known to be involved in collisions with wind turbines. Our primary goal of this project was to characterize the auditory and visual physiology of Golden and Bald Eagles with the ultimate intention of providing this information to engineers for the development of novel deterrent systems. These systems can be used to reduce the risk of eagle collisions with turbines by alerting eagles to the presence of wind turbines so that they may change course, or deterring them from approaching turbines while operational. We proposed a two-phase research project. First, we needed to know basic eagle sensory physiology to develop effective multimodal (auditory and visual) stimuli tuned to eagle?s specific sensory capabilities. Second, we complemented the first phase of the project by running behavioral tests of prototype stimuli in wildlife rehabilitation centers to determine the responses of eagles. These two stages were necessary to ensure that the stimuli characteristics were not only conspicuous to the Golden and Bald Eagle?s sensory systems, but also generated the intended response when flying near wind turbines (e.g. enhanced detection).
