Prey of nesting Bald Eagles in Texas. Mabie, D., W., Merendino, M., T., & Reid, D., H. Journal of Raptor Research, 29(1):10-14, 1995. abstract bibtex Food habits of nesting bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) in Texas were assessed by examining prey remains collected from within and beneath nests. We collected and identified 661 prey items from 27 nesting territories. Nesting bald eagles appeared to be opportunistic feeders and their diets contained nearly equal proportions of birds (33.7%), reptiesl (30.7%), and fish (30.1%); American coots (Fulica americana), softshell turtles (Apalone spp.), and freshwater catfish (Ictalurus spp.) and Notorus spp.) dominated the respective food categories. The percentage of reptile remains in bald eagle diets is the highest reported in North America. Protection of traditional foraging areas is necessary to provide for an increasing bald eagle population in Texas
