3D scan of the mounted white-tailed eagle pair (*Haliaeetus albicilla*) from the Danube wetlands near Vienna. These birds were bagged by Crown Prince Rudolf on the 22nd of January 1889, only nine days before he committed suicide in Mayerling, Austria. The nest of the white-tailed eagles called eyrie can be as tall as four meters and is often used for many years. The white-tailed eagle pair with a fledgling at the center is Number 74 of the NHM Top 100 and can be found in Hall 29 of the NHM Vienna. **Specimen**: *Haliaeetus albicilla* (Linnaeus, 1758) **Inventory number**: NHMW-Zoo-VS 37.779 & 37.781 **Collection**: Natural History Museum Vienna, 1st Zoological Dept., Bird Coll.
