Other Species of Eagles
In southeastern Europe and northern Africa this species is replaced by Adalbert's Eagle {A. adalberti), which is a slightly smaller species in which the white shoulder patches continue along the edge of the wing to the carpus; its habits are similar.
The Steppe Eagle (A. bifasciata), which was formerly regarded as a color phase of the Imperial Eagle, is a bird about thirty inches long, nearly uniform brown in color, with often a rufous-buff patch on the nape. Its habits are similar to those of the Imperial Eagle, except that it usually places the nest on the ground.
Allied to the last, but much smaller, is the Indian Tawny Eagle (A. vindhiana), a common bird of the Indian peninsula. It feeds on small mammals, birds, lizards, and carrion, and is also guilty of robbing Kites and Falcons of their captures. Other species found in India are the rare Brook's Eagle (A.fulvescens), and the Large and Small Spotted Indian
