===Booted eagles=== The booted eagle is a group of eagle that typically migrates across the Sahara Desert to Europe. It usually reaches Europe around the beginning of March and leaves by the end of September. These types of eagles usually mate with the same partner and return to the same areas years later. Female booted eagles usually lay 1-4 eggs, which promptly hatch after 37 to 40 days. Researchers estimate that there are between 3600 and 6900 pairs of booted eagles in Europe, which are mostly situated in the Iberian Peninsula.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Morandini |first1=Virginia |last2=Baumbusch |first2=Ryan |last3=Balbontin |first3=Javier |last4=Ferrer |first4=Miguel |title=Age of the breeders, but not territory quality, explains hatching sex ratio in booted eagles |journal=Journal of Avian Biology |date=May 25, 2020 |volume=51 |issue=8 |pages= |doi=10.1111/jav.02511}}</ref> [[File:Booted eagle in flight.jpg|thumb|Booted eagle in flight]] [[Booted eagles]] or "true eagles"<ref name=rutledge /><ref name="oiseaux-booted">{{cite web|last1=Bouglouan|first1=Nicole|title=The booted eagles throughout the world: introduction|url=http://www.oiseaux-birds.com/article-booted-eagles-intro.html|website=Oiseaux-birds|access-date=11 June 2014|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140517040832/http://www.oiseaux-birds.com/article-booted-eagles-intro.html|archive-date=17 May 2014|df=dmy-all}}</ref> have feathered tarsi (lower legs).
