Hosting the world\u2019s largest gathering of bald eagles, and probably having more large predators than anywhere else in the world, we are finally taking on the responsibility to find out more about them.<\/p>\n

This BETA Project, in cooperation with Simon Fraser University, and in Phase 1 is a 10 year introduction to these eagle movements. As different age classes and geographically resident eagles get tagged we hope to formulate additional questions and plan fact based managements recommendations. Is the population still expanding or now declining? Since so many eagle are dying of pesticides and heavy metals can we determine where they are picking up these contaminants? And since electrocution remains the largest local killer of our eagles can we learn something about their local movements that would assist BC Hydro in where to place perches above the killing wires?<\/p>\n

Trapping some of our local breeders and some of the thousands of migrants will be a start to our better understanding of the world\u2019s largest gathering of bald eagles. Please support the BETA Project: follow an eagle on its annual journey. If you can contribute financially to the Project please do so. The HWF team has devoted a large portion of our consulting dollars to buying Trackers and our first grant application to Molson Breweries also resulted in a fine support grant. At about $5000.00 cost per Tracker we need your support.<\/a><\/strong>
