Well, it seems like 184 didn't want to try to cross the Straits of Hormuz. Despite being a rather narrow water crossing, there is little evidence that many migrating raptors move between Iran and Arabia via the Straits of Hormuz (either in autumn or spring). The species that do are the more active flyers: falcons and harriers.

| Movements of a Steppe eagle (184) as it is migrating north. It flew to the northernmost point of Musandam, then turned south, and will now, presumably fly around the Arabian Gulf on its way north. |
