Abstract

<p>Fifty-two white-tailed eagles have been killed by collisions of wind turbines in Hokkaido with the increase of wind farms. Furthermore, many projects of wind farms are planned and the environment assessments are underway in Japan. The final goal of this study is to understand important flyways and stopover or wintering habitats of whitetailed eagles in far east of Russia and in Japan. </p><p>As the first step of this study, we captured two and four nestlings at the nest sites of middle basin of Amur river in 2017 summer and at Lake Chukchagirskoye in lower Amur in 2018 summer, respectively. GPS transmitters were equipped to these nestlings and telemetry trackings were carried out to identify their migration routes and their habitats after their fledging.</p><p>One eagle captured in 2017 had been tracked till 8 January 2018 and this eagle wintered near a dumping ground probably with fish waste in the coast of primorye. This eagle also stayed at three stopover sites on the way from the natal site to wintering site and all sites were river basins. The eagle did not migrate to Japan, but some important data for conservation of this species in Japan and in Russia were acquired. The four eagles with transmitters equipped in 2018 summer have been currently tracked.</p>
