Circaetus gallicus information navigator

Thanks to Igor Karyakin we have now pulications of the Raptors Conservation bulletin. These articles are dedicated to Short-toed Eagles or include mentions of them. The whole collection is divided into two PDFs by geographical regions:

• RAPTORS CONSERVATION. 2005-2008 – Collection of articles with mentions of Short-toed Eagle in Kazakhstan – (Ru)(En) – 4.8 MB {rough translation}.

• RAPTORS CONSERVATION. 2005-2009 – Collection of articles with mentions of Short-toed Eagle in Russia – (Ru)(En) – 14 MB {rough translation}.

Almost every article is bilingual, but some of them have English summary only, such as this one about Short-toed Eagle distribution in Nizhny Novgorod Region /map/:

• Бакка С.В., Киселёва Н.Ю., 2009 – Распространение и численность змееяда в Нижегородской области, Россия [Distribution and number of the Short-Toed Eagle in the N. Novgorod District (Region), Russia] // Пернатые хищники и их охрана – Raptors Conservation, 17. C. 121-124 (Ru).

Two articles have been discovered on the Net:

• D.E. Bakaloudis, C.G. Vlachos, G.J. Holloway, 2000 – Nest features and nest-tree characteristics of Short-toed Eagles (Circaetus gallicus) in the Dadia-Lefkimi-Soufli Forest, Northeastern Greece // Raptor Res. 34(4): 293-298. – (En) /map/ (source – www.researchgate.net).

• J. Overpeck, C. Whitlock, B. Huntley, 2003 – Terrestrial biosphere dynamics in the climate system: past and future – (En). Fig. 5.13. Potential distribution of species under climate change scenarios in Europe – // Paleoclimate, Global Change and the Future: 220 pp.

Some data on spring arrival of Short-toed Eagles to Ukraine is available now on the map. The first dates are: 28^th and 29^th (in display flight) of March – observations of Sergey Domashevsky in Mizhrichynskyi Regional Landscape Park /map/ (Chernihiv Region); 4^th of April – observations of Konstantin Pismennyi (Kiev Region /map/, in display flight), Maxim Gavrilyuk and Nikolay Borisenko (Cherkasy Region).

This is the third time we bring to your attention GREFA and their successes in breeding and following release of Short-toed Eagles.

The second thing is an appearance of the Observado.org website as a global version of Waarneming.nl we told about before. Please take a look at the ‘About this species’ right column menu there.

This text about nesting Short-toed Eagles in the environs of Marseille as an example of the species adaptation to urbanization is offered by Richard Frèze:

• Richard Frèze, 2008 – Un Circaète aux portes de Marseille [Short-toed Eagle near Marseille] (Fr). Also you have a possibility to open a PDF {rough translation} of the article, to view /map//map/ and photos.
