Wing tucks are a response to atmospheric turbulence in the soaring flight of the steppe eagle Aquila nipalensis [PDF]
Turbulent atmospheric conditions represent a challenge to stable flight in soaring birds, which are often seen to drop their wings in a transient motion that we call a tuck. Here, we investigate the mechanics, occurrence and causation of wing tucking in a captive steppe eagle Aquila nipalensis , using ground-based ...

The steppe eagle (Aquila nipalensis) is an endangered migratory raptor species that migrates in winter to Pakistan and neighbouring countries. In Pakistan, the species migrate at the end of autumn and utilise different habitats across the country. Very little information is available about the species’ population status, distribution, and factors ...

Modeling and Identification of Steppe Eagle (Aquila Nipalensis) Dynamics
We present some initial findings of a long-term project to identify the flight dynamics of large birds of prey, during free-flight outdoors. This paper outlines our methods for dealing with the particular challenges a project of this nature provides, and some preliminary results outlining the flight characteristics of soaring flight, and providing ...

Rapid advances in the timing of the spring passage migration through Israel of the steppe eagle Aquila nipalensis [PDF]
We examined phenological change in the spring migratory passage of the predatory steppe eagle Aquila nipalensis from 1977 to 2008. Data were collected at Eilat, Israel, a globally important site for migrating raptors. Changes in the observation dates of spring passage migration were examined using correlation and regression analyses to assess changes ...
