Waar u de Crowned Eagle in Zuid-Afrika ziet

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Crowned Eagle at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Grootvadersbosch Nature Reserve and iSimangaliso Wetland Park. A record means a host has seen it on the property or nearby, which makes these the places to base yourself; it is never a guarantee of a sighting on any given day.

The Crowned Eagle is most recorded in KwaZulu-Natal (81% of records), Eastern Cape (9% of records), Limpopo (5% of records), based on 942 iNaturalist observations. 10 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Crowned Eagle on site or nearby.

The Crowned Eagle is recorded throughout the year, so no month is the wrong month to look for it. For the parks where hosts record it most, these are the best seasons they give. Kruger National Park: Apr-Sep; Grootvadersbosch Nature Reserve: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct; iSimangaliso Wetland Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The Crowned Eagle (Stephanoaetus coronatus) is listed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List.

The crowned eagle, also known as the African crowned eagle or the crowned hawk-eagle (Stephanoaetus coronatus) is a large bird of prey found in sub-Saharan Africa; in Southern Africa it is restricted to eastern areas. Its preferred habitats are principally riparian woodlands and various forests. The crowned eagle is the only extant member of the genus Stephanoaetus.
