09.09 : the adult Short-toed Eagles still use the broom for transferring prey to the juvenile / by V. Moroz
09.09 : the male has taken in his beak the snake which was brought and put in the nest before; the juvenile aims to approach him and doesn't stop crying loudly again / by A. Simon

09.09 : wet meadows are typical hunting territories of Short-toed Eagles in the region / by K. Pismennyi
09.09 : judging by colouration and moulting, another adult male Short-toed Eagle hunts high over the meadows at a distance of almost 10 km from the previous breeding site / by V. Moroz, K. Pismennyi
