About the Steppe Eagle
The steppe eagle is a large migratory eagle that breeds across parts of Eurasia and spends the non-breeding season in Africa. It is a powerful bird of prey with broad wings and generally dark brown plumage, often showing variation between individuals and age classes. In Africa it occurs mainly in open habitats and feeds opportunistically on small mammals, birds, reptiles, insects and carrion. It is a strong soaring bird capable of travelling enormous distances during migration.
