Kazakh - Mongolia
Jan Erke, Kazakh | Sagsai, Bayan-lgii province | Mongolia, 2017
Kazakhs have used eagles to hunt for thousands of years, and to this day the golden eagle plays an important part in their lives. The hunters find eagle nests by searching for the tell-tale white droppings on the rocks far below them. They take only females from the nest, because they tend to grow bigger than males, weighing up to seven kilos with a wingspan of two metres or more when fully grown.
