After the aborted migration effort about two weeks ago, 162312 set out again. Early on 8 April, this Steppe eagle first headed east, then southwest. It spent the night about 70 km NE of Qarn Alam. It then moved steadily west and north, spending the nights of 9 and 10 April in the Saudi Empty Quarter, then on the night of the 11th, far from human habitation in eastern Saudi Arabia. By the night of the 12th it was still in eastern Saudi Arabia, west of Qatar. By noon on the 13th (today) it was near the Saudi Arabian town of Al Hofuf. See the map below.
If you are wondering what is happening with the other Steppe eagle we are tracking, visit the blog in a couple of days. We have some exciting news.
