Imperial Eagle is considered to be the king of steppe habitats. Only up to 40 pairs of the Imperial Eagle are nesting in Slovakia. There are several threats that this species needs to face, therefore more conservation efforts are needed, with the monitoring as essential part of it. In 2004 and 2006 two juvenile Imperial Eagles were ringed in Slovakia among others and blood samples were taken from them for DNA analysis. The Hungarian expert have recently discovered, comparing these samples with the new samples extracted from the feathers on nests in Hungary, that these two Eagles are nesting in Hungary. This is a great news and information that the Eagles from Slovakia are now adult successfully nesting in neighbouring country. Exact location of nests is known – the nests in Hungary are located about 70 km from the birthplace of Eagles.
