The Steppe Eagle, whose progress south I reported on in the last post, has now moved into west central Saudi, about 280 km ENE of Mecca. We'll find out over the coming weeks where this bird will winter, but for now it seems like it might not be in Oman, where it wintered last year. Little is know about the level of fidelity migratory eagles show toward wintering locations, though fidelity seems to be common amongst adult eagles that have been tracked.
