The Steppe eagle (162312) that was actively migrating last week, continues to do so. It is now near the town of Izeh, Iran, and heading toward the Iraqi border near Basrah.

The other eagle (105) has spent the last week at the rubbish dump near Ar Rashda, Saudi Arabia. The map below shows that it is often roosting in the hills to the NE of the rubbish dump. Who knows? Maybe this is the final winter destination for this bird. It is at a location a bit south of where it was caught last year in Oman. It would be great to get a report of scavenging bird use of this rubbish dump.
