187 has reported in, after last being heard on 3 April. There are still some Steppe eagles that have not been heard of since arriving on the summering grounds, but we remain hopeful. The map below shows data since 3 April. The cluster of locations at the "start" label is most likely its breeding home range. Recently, as the duties of being a territory holder wane, the bird has started moving and has come into the GSM network and started to upload its stored data. Over time the gap during 3 April - 21 July should be filled in. As you can see in the post just before this one, other eagles are showing up after long periods of silence. They, too, are probably now less tied to breeding home ranges, and able to move away. Changing availability of food around their summer home ranges may be a factor in the movements.
