On May 25, 2018, in order to study geographical movements of the Caspian eagles, within the framework of the project implemented by the Dagestan Nature Reserve with support of the Ministry of Natural Resources of Russia, in cooperation with the employees of Sibecocenter LLC and members of the Russian Raptor Research and Conservation Network, three nestlings of the White-Tailed Eagle were tagged with GSM/GPS-trackers Aquila. All three nestlings were born in one nest located in the Kizlyar Bay, on the cab roof of the old ship, 1.7 km southwest of the Kuma River mouth. The tagging of the whole brood made the experiment even more interesting, as it made it possible to monitor how long the birds born in one nest would stay together and which directions of movements they would choose.
