The Little Eagle is listed as a vulnerable species in the ACT and NSW. The overall aim of this study by the Little Eagle Research Group is to determine the population ecology of the Little Eagle in the ACT and nearby NSW. This has been done by finding out how many breeding pairs there are in the study area, what the birds eat, what habitats they use, how far they move from their nest sites, how far they move in the non-breeding season, and where they go.
