By: Material type: TextTextLanguage: English Series: Madoqua, Ser. 1, No. 5, 1972; p. 73 - 76Publication details: Windhoek : Nature Conservation and Tourism Branch of the South West Africa Administration, 1972, : John Meinert PrintingDescription: 4 pages : fig., tables; 28 cmSubject(s): DDC classification:
  • PER 154 Madoqua
Summary: Steppe eagles Aquila nipalensis orientalis were recorded in small groups in the Karibib district in January- February 1971. Two specimens were collected, the only previous definite record being Andersson's specimen from the last century. The birds apparently fed exclusively on late harvester termites, and were found in the company of migrant Milvus kites and other raptors. The probable pattern of movement of the raptor flocks is speculated on, and the 1972 records from the northern Cape claiming a number of highly doubtful new additions to the South African raptor list, are discussed and provisionally rejected
