Steppe Eagle

The steppe eagle is a bird of prey like all eagles. It breeds from Romania east through the south Russian and Central Asian steppes to Mongolia. The European and Central Asian birds winter in Africa, and the eastern birds in India. It lays 1–3 eggs in a stick nest in a tree. Throughout its range it favors open dry habitats, such as dessert, semi-desert, steppes, or savannah.
The steppe eagle's diet is largely fresh carrion of all kinds, but it will kill rodents and other small mammals up to the size of a hare, and birds up to the size of partridges. It will also steal food from other raptors. Steppe eagles are opportunistic scavengers, which may expose them to the risk of diclofenac poisoning.
