We would like to invite you to visit the website of Igor Karyakin: Russian Birds of Prey Researchers Club. General and some local /map/ information on Short-toed Eagle can be found there:

• Игорь Карякин, 1998 – Змееяд – Пернатые хищники Уральского региона. Соколообразные (Falconiformes) и Совообразные (Strigiformes). Пермь: Центр полевых исследований Союза охраны животных Урала / Социально-экологический союз: 180-189 – (Ru).

• Г.П. Дементьев, 1951 – Змееяд (Circaetus gallicus) – Птицы Советского Союза, т.1. – М.: Сов. наука – (Ru).

(the source is a subsection of the site: Publications)

One more general description (Ru) (composed, in this case, by Igor Karyakin) is located in the subsection titled Articles on Species.

Here you can find some selection of photos of Short-toed Eagles on Fotonatura.org gallery. Birds are close (even very close) and distant, sitting and flying. Single and companion portraits are represented on the site with a lot of comments (Es) on them. Resolution of the images is about 600×400 px. The content of this gallery is being updated quite often, just check it from time to time.

Here you can acquaint yourself with the work on the wintering of Short-toed Eagle and Booted Eagle in Spain:

…and with the abstract of an article about Greek Short-toed Eagles:

Afanas’ev dedicated to ecology of Short-toed Eagle and Booted Eagle in the North of Sumy Region (north-eastern Ukraine) and in the South of Bryansk Region (Russia); and just take a look at the maps to get a notion about geographical location of the both authors’ research regions:
