Steppe Eagle movements so far

We have been tracking the two Steppe eagles caught in Oman for about 7 months now.  Below is a map of their movements during that time.  During the time we have tracked them they have spent a couple of months in northern Oman, migrated north, and spent the summer in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Russia.  A feature of their summer movements is that they seem to be wandering over large areas, and one of the birds seems to be doing this while also having a base area in far western Kazakhstan to which it regularly returns. Remember, you can click on the map and it should open in a new window and be easier to see.  In the coming days I will post more detail about the summertime movements of these birds, so revisit the site soon.
