New section about Sameh’s study
Apr 16, 2007 / 2 CommentsJust a few words about a section dedicated to the subject of Sameh’s research “Agricultural influences on the ecology of the Short-toed Eagle (Circaetus gallicus) in the Judean slopes” /map/ on The Jerusalem Bird Observatory website.
The section, which can be rated as an independent site, includes such subsections as Gallery, Team, Research, Transmitters & Migration, About me and so on. You can find there notes and many photos illustrating the study development.
Short-toed Eagles are here
Mar 30, 2007 / 2 CommentsHi! Short-toed Eagles are here. 3 out of 4 S.t.Eagles with satellite transmitters are now here in Israel /map/, the fourth located in Egypt on its way to us!
See migration map of Autumn 06 where 3 eagles wintered in Sudan, one on the borders of Sudan with Chad!
Short videos. Aggregation and rodents
Jan 20, 2007 / 2 CommentsPart with aggregation: You can see here the special phenomenon in my study area /map/, where many Short-toed Eagles flying over one field (aggregation) that is being worked up by a tractor, waiting for the prey (mainly rodents!) to be exposed by the tractor so that they dive quickly on the prey.
Part with Short-toed eagle chasing a rodent: You can see here a Short-toed Eagle chasing a rodent (Gerbil) that has succeeded to get out of a ploughing, and after a relatively long pursuit the Eagle managed to get it.
Catching a rodent: here you can see another part where Short-toed Eagle gets a Field Vole in his talons (you can even hear the rodent screaming).
