Population modeling of bald eagle health
We computed the population-scale impact of lead (Pb) in New York eagles from 1990 to 2018 using methods in Hanley et al. (2019) and Hanley et al. (2022).

Using cutting edge computational techniques, we assessed the population-scale impacts of Pb on bald eagles in the New York.
