Golden eagles, red-tailed hawks and American kestrels had higher mortality than more common American ravens and turkey vultures (Orloff & Flannery 1992, 1996; Thelander & Rugge 2000, 2001). Deaths of eagles and potential danger to endangered California condors have raised the biggest issues at Altamont Pass.
