Dynamics of the nesting group of the steppe eagle in Aktobe region in 2018-2023

Kazakhstan is a key area for the conservation of the steppe eagle, which is classified as an endangered species by the IUCN. Systematic work on monitoring changes in its number and reproductive success is carried out in protected areas. The remaining steppe spaces are explored sporadically. Our work partially fills this gap. Over 5 years of monitoring the nesting group in the north of the Aktobe region, 85 successful nests of the steppe eagle were identified. 160 fledglings were counted. Data have been collected on the spatial distribution and population dynamics of this bird.
