Project Update: January 2007

Some events of 2006:

1) Educational activities: An educational program was built and conducted last
year with families. Families came to the study area to watch Short-toed Eagles
in aggregation while fields are managed and received an explanation of this
special phenomenon and got an explanation about the short-toed Eagle
structure and adaptations while it was in hand.

2) Three presentations were given, two in different conferences and one at the
university, presenting the new findings of the research.

3) Four Short-toed Eagles were fitted with satellite transmitters, all of them
are now in Africa and their transmitters are active. In a month or so we are
expecting their return to the study area in Israel.
