dc.description.abstractRed Wolf- summer and winter transects were run throughout the range of the red wolf (Canis rufus) along the Texas Gulf Coast utilizing a hand-cranked siren to elicit howling. Many areas thought to be occupied by red wolves were found to contain only coyotes. Isolated wolf populations were located in Harris and Brazoria Counties along with the major population grouping in Liberty, Chambers, and Jefferson Counties. Marsh animals- Five permanent transects of seven to ten miles each were established along bayous within counties of the upper Texas Coast. These transects were run at night, and animals of all types were counted for future comparison studies. Bald eagle- Over 4,500 bald eagle (Haliaetus leucocephalus) questionnaires with a letter of explanation were mailed to the most qualified bird observers in Texas to determine the distribution and number of bald eagles and their nests in the State. Five active and fifteen inactive bald eagle nests were located in southeast Texas. The five active nests are known to have produced four young. Osprey- Over 4,500 osprey (Pandion haliaetus) questionnaires with a letter of explanation were mailed in conjunction with the bald eagle questionnaires to the most qualified bird observers in Texas to determine the distribution and number of osprey and their nests in the State. To date, no active osprey nests have been located in Texas.en_US
