Well, there seems to be only one eagle that has not left its wintering location. All the others are at various locations along their spring migration path. Below is a map of eight of the tracked eagles since they started migration. 185, 186 and 187 are already in the breeding range (Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan). 184 and 162312 are in Iran. 183 and 105 are in Saudi Arabia; 105 actually made it to Iran, but backtracked to Saudi for some reason. Of course there are other birds that are being tracked. They seem mostly to be doing about the same thing as the mapped birds. [If you double-click on the map, it should open up in a new window and be easier to view.]
