Circaetus gallicus information navigator

Different birds’ songs with the spectrograms can be found on the Birdsongs.it website. There are two records of Short-toed Eagle’s calls among them at the moment. Here you can use a special form to search voices of other birds.

Watch please some short videos of hovering Short-toed Eagles, which are put on Dailymotion.com. Typical movements of wings, tail and neck are well seen. They allow the eagles to keep their heads still.

Let us invite you to take part in common collection of short descriptions of Short-toed Eagles biotopes in different regions. This idea belongs to Bernard Joubert. The project aims to describe the whole area of the species distribution. It should be something like collection of photos of typical for Short-toed Eagles hunting and breeding territories with short notes about the authors, their comments, which will be connected with a map. The test version of it can be viewed here. Please, if you have some propositions, we would be glad to discuss them – info@short-toed-eagle.net; or as a comment to this post.

Please let me call your attention to this Google’s service. Many people put their photos now on Picasa Web Albums, and Google allows to search there what you want. Of course we want to get new Short-toed Eagles images. If you use the names in different languages, the search will be the most effective. When getting the results, you should click “repeat the search with the omitted results included” at the bottom of the page; and when viewing a single photo, just don’t forget to click on the icon to see the photo’s full size.

Several photos made by Tomi Muukkonen in Israel and in Spain during the season 2007 are put on the birdphoto.fi website. Images of flying young, immature and adult Short-toed Eagles come under our notice because of well recognizable age characters of the plumage.

See please photos of Short-toed Eagles made in August, 2007 in Gironde (France) /map/. These scenes of Short-toed Eagles’ life are kind contribution of Françoise Gérardin:
