Tawny Eagle (Aquila rapax)
Tawny eagles occur from Romania east to southern Russia and Mongolia, and south through India and much of Africa.
It has a large wingspan which measures 1.72 – 1.85 metres (5.64 – 6.07 feet).
Females are typically larger than males but similar in appearance.
Tawny eagles are monogamous, pairing for life.
They are kleptoparasites. A bird, insect, or other animal which habitually robs animals of other species of food.
Tawny eagles are generally fairly silent, except when aggravated or displaying. Their call can be described as a sharp kwok kwok. Occasionally tawny eagles will call during acts of piracy. Females may call from the nest, soliciting food. In general, vision is acute among eagles, and is likely to be their most important sense. They are able to see prey clearly at distances and up close. Their acute vision may also help in establishing territories. Hearing is also an important sense for tawny eagles, as it helps them locate prey when they are hunting.
