After animating the data on the movements of an Egyptian vulture caught by us in Oman in January (see 31 October posting at https://egyptianvultureoman.blogspot.com/), John Burnside of Sustainable Houbara Management and University of East Anglia has kindly animated the movements of the Steppe eagles over the past 20 months (visit them on Twitter @SustainHoubara and at sustainablehoubaramanagement.org ). See below! Pretty cool!. (Click on the box in the lower right hand corner to open the animation in a new window. Return by pressing Esc).
After capture in January 2017, the birds migrated and summered mostly in Kazakhstan. In winter 2017-18 they both were in Saudi Arabia, one in the middle and one on the coast near the Yemen border. In summer 2018 they both migrated back to Kazakhstan, to areas different than those used in summer 2017. In autumn 2018 both migrated back to Saudi Arabia. Look back at earlier blog posts to get details. Since tagging, one bird has travelled over 30,000 km, the other over 42,000. In the coming days we'll update where exactly the birds are in Saudi Arabia.
