Abstract

A long-term study (1991-2001) of the food of White-tailed Sea Eagles in the Svâtoj Nos wetlands at Lake Baikal, Northeastern Russia, revealed that these eagles feed predominantly on water birds, mainly ducks. Anecdotal data from the Selenga Delta in Southeastern Lake Baikal indicate that White-tailed Sea Eagles generally prefer birds as their prey in the Lake Baikal area.
