Hieraaetus pennatus
Table Mountain National Park and Karoo National Park are the two atlas places where the Booted Eagle is recorded, with records concentrating most in Spain, Georgia, Morocco, Portugal, and India. The atlas holds about 255,000 open records for this bird from 19 countries. This map shows where those records concentrate rather than its whole range.
Because it is recorded in both hemispheres, the seasons for sighting this member of the Accipitridae family differ by region. Each place page shows the months recorded there.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Booted Eagle as much as where it lives. The atlas keeps a species' 200 best-recorded grid cells, so the map shows where records concentrate rather than its whole range. Cells are up to 25 km across, and every location is generalised to its cell.
Generalised encounter areas, not exact locations. Each shape is a grid cell coloured by how likely the species is there.
Conservation status not assessed here yet, so every location is generalised to its grid cell.
