Phylogenetic signal was highly congruent and complementary between mtDNA and nuclear genes. In addition to single-nucleotide variation, shared deletions in nuclear introns supported one basal and two peripheral clades within the Aquilini. Monophyly of the Aquilini relative to other birds of prey was confirmed. However, all polytypic genera within the tribe, Spizaetus, Aquila, Hieraaetus, turned out to be non-monophyletic. Old World Spizaetus and Stephanoaetus together appear to be the sister group of the rest of the Aquilini. Spiza- stur melanoleucus and Oroaetus isidori axe nested among the New World Spizaetus species and should be merged with that genus. The Old World 'Spizaetus' species should be assigned to the genus Nisaetus (Hodgson, 1836). The sister species of the two spotted eagles (Aquila clanga and Aquila pomarina) is the African Long-crested Eagle (Lophaetus occipitalis).

  • Studies of Less Familiar Birds Ij2 Lesser Spotted Eagle B.-U
    Studies of less familiar birds ij2 Lesser Spotted Eagle B.-U. Meyburg Plates 61-64. Of all European eagles, the Lesser Spotted Eagle Aquila pomarina has the smallest world breeding range, the nominate race being confined to eastern parts of Germany, Poland, eastern Czechoslovakia, Hun­ gary, Yugoslavia, Romania, Bulgaria, north-east Greece, western Turkey (Thrace), and the Soviet Union north to Leningrad and east to about 35°E. There are no published records of proved breeding in eastern Austria this century, though pairs from Hungary hunt over the land around Lake Neusiedl. There is no clear information on the current position in the Caucasus and the south Caspian lowlands. In Germany the breeding area stretches only to the north of Berlin, westwards beyond the rivers Oder and Neisse but stopping short of the Elbe. In 1969 there were 53 known broods in this area, and possibly a further nine (H. Weber in Glutz von Blotzheim et al. 1971). Even at the beginning of this century, the breeding range extended much further westwards, at least as far as the River Weser in Niedersachsen. A second subspecies, A. p. hastata, breeds in parts of India, in particular the Ganges Valley and West Bengal, and also in Bangla Desh. Hardly anything is known about this form, which appears to be rare. The first autumn plumage is said to be quite different from that of the nominate race, which has led some authors to treat it as a separate species. The Lesser Spotted Eagle presents a very difficult problem to field and museum ornithologists alike—the clear differentiation between it and the very closely related Spotted Eagle A.

  • The Eagle Genus Hieraaetus Is Distinct from Aquila, with Comments on the Name Ayres’ Eagle
    William S. Clark 295 Bull. B.O.C. 2012 132(4) The eagle genus Hieraaetus is distinct from Aquila, with comments on the name Ayres’ Eagle by William S. Clark Received 16 April 2012 Consensus has long existed among taxonomists as to the placement of the species of the eagles in the genera Aquila and Hieraaetus, the only exception being Wahlberg’s Eagle, which has been treated either as A. wahlbergi or H. wahlbergi. However, recent comparisons of DNA sequences of these eagles revealed that both genera were polyphyletic (Helbig et al. 2005, Lerner & Mindell 2005, Griffiths et al. 2007, Haring et al. 2007). To ensure monophyly, these authors recommended that some species be moved into and out of both genera and placed Wahlberg’s Eagle definitely in Hieraaetus. On the other hand, Sangster et al. (2005) recommended that Hieraaetus be subsumed into Aquila, for which they cite eight recent phylogenetic studies, only four of them published in peer-reviewed journals (Roulin & Wink 2004, Bunce et al. 2005, Helbig et al. 2005, Lerner & Mindell 2005); all of which, nevertheless, retained Hieraaetus. Thus, none of the four peer-reviewed journal articles cited by Sangster et al. (2005) to justify placing Hieraaetus into Aquila actually recommended this. Further, Sangster et al. (2005) proposed only that Booted Eagle (pennatus) be included in Aquila, because their recommendations only considered European birds. The generic treatment of Sangster et al. (2005) was followed without comment by Gjershaug et al. (2009) in describing Weiske’s or Pygmy Eagle (weiskei) as a species separate from Little Eagle H.

This paper presents the first study of the possible connection between colour polymor- phism and productivity in a Booted Eagle (Aquila pennata) population breeding in south- eastern Spain. To that end we used 19 years of data of non-marked individuals. A total of 738 pale (91.6%) and 68 dark (8.4%) adult Booted Eagles were observed in our study area, including 57 territories. Our results suggest that colour morph of both sexes re- mained stable in the population over the study period. Although we found a higher num- ber of offspring produced by parents exhibiting the dark morph than those of the pale morph, statistical differences were not significant.

    1 The taxonomy, status and conservation of serpent eagles (Circaetnae) and booted eagles 2 (Aquilinae). 3 4 M.J. McGrady Natural Research Ltd, Banchory, Scotland; L. Kiff Peregrine Fund Boise, Idaho, USA; J. 5 O. Gjershaug Norwegian Institute for Nature Research, Trondheim, Norway; J. Parry-Jones International 6 Centre for Birds of Prey, Newent, England; A. Gamauf Naturhistorisches Museum, Vienna, Austria; T. 7 Yamazaki Asian Raptor Research and Conservation Network, Japan 8 9 Abstract Serpent and booted eagles as groups are generally imperilled. Eagles within these groups 10 often have small population sizes, limited distribution (sometimes confined to islands), and occupy 11 habitats (especially tropical forests in Asia and Africa) under threat. In addition, the ecology of many of the 12 species in these groups is not well known and this undermines conservation efforts. As a first step in 13 understanding which species should be made a conservation priority we aimed to assemble the dispersed 14 data on population size and conservation status, main conservation threats and main on-going 15 conservation activities. Because of new taxonomy resulting from recent genetic work, we made some 16 effort to clarify species nomenclature within the context of the main aims of assembling the data. We 17 review information from a variety of sources for 61 eagle species in the (current and historical) genera: 18 Eutriorchis, Spilornis, Pithecophaga, Terathopius, Circaetus, Dryotriorchis, Nisaetus, Stephanoatus, 19 Spizaetus, Hieraaetus, Polemaetus, Lophaetus, Lophotriorchis, Ictinaetus, and Aquila. In reviewing all 20 species in these groups we sought also to identify species where relatively low cost solutions to 21 conservation problems might be applied.

  • Witberg Wind Farm Juvenile Verreaux's Eagle
    WITBERG WIND FARM JUVENILE VERREAUX’S EAGLE MONITORING FINAL REPORT Prepared for: Sebastian Hirschmann G7 Renewable Energies (Pty) Ltd Prepared by: Page 1 Juvenile Verreaux’s Eagle monitoring at the Witberg wind farm site Background The wind farm site at the Witberg, near Matjiesfontein, in the western Karoo was proposed by G7 Renewable Energies, and was originally planned with 70 turbines. Following the EIA and pre- construction monitoring of the possible bird impacts (Avisense 2010, Turpie et al. 2012) it was revealed that the area held three breeding pairs of Verreaux’s Eagles Aquila verreauxii on the ridges, and a breeding Martial Eagle Polemaetus bellicosus pair below the ridge. Buffers of 1.5 km and 2.5 km around the Verreaux’s and Martial Eagle nests respectively were suggested (following the recommendations of Avisense 2010) and reduced the number, and altered the placement of, the turbines. Birdlife South Africa, as an interested and affected party, objected to the Environmental Authorization and called for Collision-Risk modelling to quantitatively assess the impact to the Verreaux’s Eagles there, considering it was too risky to have turbines so close to active nests. That was followed by collision-risk modelling of adult eagles by Shoney Renewables (Percival 2013), based on flight paths collected during the Turpie et al. report (2012). Turbine numbers were reduced to 27 as a result of that report and further consultation, and some turbines moved to other locations. However, no juvenile eagles were present in the environment during these exercises, so it was recommended that further study be undertaken to determine flight paths and patterns of juvenile eagles to assess the risks to them.

  • Eagle and Osprey Wildlife Note
    32. Eagles & Osprey Large, striking and charismatic birds of prey, the bald eagle, golden eagle and osprey seem to embody power and majesty. All regularly occur in Pennsylvania, but only the bald eagle and osprey nest here. The golden eagle migrates through the state on a pathway connecting its breeding and wintering territories. In the not so distant past, direct persecution and environmental contaminants drove eagle and osprey populations to catastrophically low levels. Protection at and Golden Eagle Protection Act, the Lacey Act and the both state and federal levels, tremendous conservation Migratory Bird Protection Treaty Act. In Pennsylvania, the efforts and improved waterway quality enabled them to bald eagle is given additional protections under the state rebound in Pennsylvania and elsewhere. Game and Wildlife Code. While persecution and environmental contaminants Adult bald eagles are 30 to 40 inches in length and weigh continue to impact these large raptors, today’s primary 8 to 14 pounds. Their wingspans are 6 to 8 feet, and they threats include loss of habitat due to land-use changes and stand about 2 feet tall. As with other birds of prey, the declining habitat quality. female is larger than the male. Taxonomists place bald and golden eagles in the same Bald eagles fly with strong, deep strokes, or soar on family as hawks, kites, harriers and Old World vultures – flattened wings. Their eyesight is among the keenest in the the family Accipitridae. The osprey is the only species of animal world, five or six times sharper than a human’s. A the family Pandionidae.

  • Kites, Eagles, Hawks and Alli
    Text extracted from Gill B.J.; Bell, B.D.; Chambers, G.K.; Medway, D.G.; Palma, R.L.; Scofield, R.P.; Tennyson, A.J.D.; Worthy, T.H. 2010. Checklist of the birds of New Zealand, Norfolk and Macquarie Islands, and the Ross Dependency, Antarctica. 4th edition. Wellington, Te Papa Press and Ornithological Society of New Zealand. Pages 169-170. Order ACCIPITRIFORMES: Secretary-bird, Kites, Eagles, Hawks and Allies The diurnal birds-of-prey (Accipitridae, Sagittariidae, Falconidae and Cathartidae) were long grouped in a single order usually named Falconiformes (from Sharpe 1874, Cat. Birds Brit. Mus. 1: ix, 1 – suborder Falcones; type Falco Linnaeus), e.g. Peters (1934), Wetmore (1960), Stresemann & Amadon (1979), del Hoyo et al. (1994). However, the strict monophyly of this group is strongly doubted, as revealed by the DNA-hybridisation studies (Sibley et al. 1988, Sibley & Ahlquist 1990) and karyological, pterylogical and morphological studies reviewed in Holdaway (1994a). This has resulted in the removal of Cathartidae, either to its own order or to within storks to which they are most closely related. Increasing evidence suggests that Falconidae and Accipitridae are not closely related (e.g. Fain & Houde 2004, Ericson et al. 2006). We follow Christidis & Boles (2008) in treating these two groups as separate orders. Within Accipitriformes as so defined, genera, as listed by, e.g. del Hoyo et al. (1994) and Dickinson (2003), are demonstrably non-monophyletic based on nuclear and mitochondrial genome data (Bunce et al. 2005, Helbig et al. 2005, Lerner & Mindell 2005, Griffiths et al. 2007). As a result of these and other phylogenetic studies concerning Aquila, Sangster et al.
