Bonelli’s eagles (Aquila fasciata)

Caption

Bonelli’s eagles (Aquila fasciata) tolerate human presence better than larger competitors such as golden eagles (A. chrysaetos), enabling the former to inhabit relatively humanized areas. This could explain why Bonelli’s eagles seemed to establish in the Mediterranean Basin only after the arrival of the first Europeans.
