billrquimby Report post Posted March 12, 2011 That bird isn't the same as our golden eagles. I saw several sitting on a ridge when I hunted elk in Mongolia years ago and my first thought was that they might be some type of condor until I watched them for a while and decided they were an Asian eagle. Wish I could run the video on this dial-up modem here, but will have to wait until I get back to Greer in a few weeks where I have high speed. The little pony at the start is typical of the tough and mean little horses I saw there. The Mongols milked the mares and made a foul-smelling liquor from the milk. I refused to taste it. When they had a long distance to cover, the Mongols rode at a run while standing in their iron stirrups. A guy in our camp during that elk hunt shot three wolves. Don't know if they were juveniles or mature animals, but I remember them being noticeably smaller than the wolves I've seen in North America. The moose were about the same size as the Shiras moose of Utah and Wyoming. The roe deer I shot was twice the size of those I've seen in Europe. My elk was virtually identical to ours, except its coat seemed more reddish. Bill Quimby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ernesto C Report post Posted March 26, 2011 I Agree, that was AWESOME and worth watching! Thanks for posting. Never saw that video before. I have seen the one where the eagle hunts for sheep and throw them to the bottom of the clif. I have seen eagles like that or at leats very similar in Mexico, maybe Sir. Bill or Amanda know what species they are. While predator calling in a couple of ocassions they have come to the "mojo critter" and for a moment I though (sp) I was going to ended up with out a predator decoy!

Arizona Griz Report post Posted March 27, 2011 That is some video. There are 4 different types of "Aquila" eagles in northern Europe. After looking at the video a few times the eagles appear to be a subspecies of the Golden Eagle Aquila chrysaetos chrysaetos and are refered to as a Berkut Eagle Aquila chrysaetos daphanea. Most of them appear to be juveniles. The remaining three species are Imperial, Steppe, and Greater Spotted and they do not look like any of these. Also the wolves look pretty small. European wolves, excluding Siberian wolves, are generally smaller than northern North American wolves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
