The Bonelli's eagle (Aquila fasciata) is a large bird of prey. Like all eagles, it belongs to the family Accipitridae. It breeds in southern Europe, Africa both north and south of the Sahara Desert and across the Middle East and South Asia to Indonesia. It is usually a resident breeder. The Bonelli's eagle is found in hilly or mountainous habitats, with rocky walls or crags and open to wooded land, in arid to semi-moist climate, from sea level to 1500 m. Recent DNA research resulted in this species being moved, in 2014, to the genus Aquila from Hieraaetus. The common name of the bird commemorates the Italian ornithologist and collector Franco Andrea Bonelli. Order: Accipitriformes, Family: Accipitridae, Synonyms: Hieraaetus fasciatus, Aquila fasciatus. |
