  1. Provide artificial nesting sites for raptors

    A small study at a lake in Saskatchewan, Canada (Bortolotti et al. 1988), found that one out of two artificial nesting platforms were used by bald eagles Haliaeetus leucocephalus. The platforms were erected in 1980 and a nest was built in 1986, although no chicks fledged from it.
