For the last few days the Steppe Eagle we are tracking has been dwelling near Bishah, Saudi Arabia (See previous post). A closer look shows it seems to be making use of a rubbish dump there. As you may recall, this bird was captured at a rubbish dump in Oman in January. Published and unpublished data from Oman and other countries in the region show that rubbish dumps are important to a variety of scavenging birds.
