Table 1. Estimated probability of detection (SEs in parentheses) of golden eagle groups from each side of the aircraft based on surveys conducted 2006–2013 [2].

Three observers (back-left, and front-right and back-right) were present on surveys with exception of 68 transects in 2008, where only a back-left observer and a front-right observer were available.
