An omnivorous, generalist species, it prefers cliffs and mountainous areas for nesting (Wikipedia). https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/3b0d92b5c6a61092bb3437e8752b9427f98fa73a2fdde3bf6e12407b93489116.png

Verreaux's eagles breed every year, and this pair should have started renovating their nest long ago. Unless something has happened (injury, death of a partner…). I hope every day that Mom and Dad will come back.

Last year, this pair of Verreaux's eagles began working on their nest in early February. They raised a beautiful and healthy eaglet. Let's see if they'll nest again this season.

When would they be here for their season of egg/hatchlings? ????
