Description
Summary:Ten juvenile Steppe Eagles (Aquila nipalensis) were tagged by GPS/GSM trackers as nestlings in Russian part of the transboundary Daurian steppe in south-east of Transbaikalia (Zabaykalsky Krai): 4 birds in 2019, and 6 in 2020. Additionally, one juvenile from the same population, (transmitter # 079) was released from rehabilitation center (Khailar City, Inner Mongolia, China) in August 2022; this bird successfully returned to the Khailar River in Chinese part of the Daurian steppe in 2023, where transmitter stopped working on 21/05/2023. Four birds tracked in Russia, successfully completed first autumn migration but later their signals were lost on wintering sites (# 103, 106, 135, 152). The transmission from other eagles ceased at different stages of the first autumn migration: two on the northeastern edge of the Tibetan Plateau, one in the Lössov Plateau, one on the Qinllin Mountain Range, one 130 km east of the Taihanshan Range, and one on the northern edges of the Taihanshan Range.
