Booted eagle

The booted eagle is a medium-sized bird of prey that spends summers across Europe and Asia before flying to warmer parts of Africa and southern Asia for winter. A few even nest in southwestern Africa year-round. These eagles are part of the same family as hawks and kites, built for soaring and hunting on the wing.

• Migrates long distances between breeding and wintering grounds each year.
• One of the few eagles with a separate breeding population in Africa.
• Shares family ties with hawks, kites, and other daytime hunters.
