Diet of Saker Falcon ([i]Falco cherrug[/i]) and Eastern Imperial Eagle ([i]Aquila heliac[/i]a) from Central Kazakhstan
Journal Title: Ecologia Balkanica - Year 2014, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
[i][/i]We present results from a study on the diet of Saker falcon (n = 15 nests) and Eastern imperial eagle (n = 2 nests) from south Kazakhstan, on the basis of food remains and pellets collected during the 2009 breeding season. The main prey for Saker falcon was predominantly rodents living in middle-size colonies – Spermophilus erytrogenys and Rhombomys opimus. We also present the results from the diet of two pairs of Eastern imperial eagles nesting close to Balkhash Lake.
