英文摘要Constructing nests costs birds time and energy and may influence breeding success and productivity. The precise nature and extent of these costs is understudied, particularly among raptor species. We used linear and generalized linear mixed models to examine the time and reproductive costs of nest construction to Bald Eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) in New Jersey, USA, from 2009 to 2021. To differentiate nest construction costs from the influence of experience, we separately analyzed the breeding performance and phenology of new pairs constructing nests, established pairs constructing nests, and established pairs reusing nests. We also considered the influence of weather, year, and ecoregion. New territorial pairs building nests were generally less successful and productive than established pairs building or reusing nests. However, these trends were largely attributable to a greater egg-laying rate among established pairs. Nest building pairs, new and established, were generally delayed in egg laying, hatching, and nestling fledging compared to established pairs reusing nests; new pairs were notably more delayed than established pairs building nests. Territorial pairs in the Atlantic Coastal Pine Barrens were less successful and productive than pairs in other ecoregions. Higher precipitation around the egg laying period was predictive of lower nest success and productivity rates but did not appear to affect phenology. Higher temperatures around this period also lowered these rates, with the further effect of advancing phenology. In New Jersey, climate change appears to be advancing breeding phenology and could constrain productivity by century's end, though we anticipate that density dependence will regulate and lower Bald Eagle breeding performance prior to this period. Breeding success and productivity rates, as well as the effects of year in our models, indicate that New Jersey's breeding Bald Eagle population is still healthy and growing. Overall, our results indicate that nest construction imposes minor temporal costs on Bald Eagles but does not meaningfully affect their breeding success or productivity, which may help inform management of Bald Eagle nests and populations.
