Thanks to the research of Bernd-U. Meyburg in general terms, we already knew where to fly eagles on the wintering

Electrocution on the breeding territory
In the first year of life, migration of Imperial Eagles in the Altai started from between 20 and 30 of September to October 07, in the Volga-Ural Region – from September 25 to October 9 (3 eagles, a male and 2 females started migration on September 25, 27 and 29, respectively). Despite the great difference in the environmental conditions between the regions and different time of hibernation of ground squirrels (Spermophilus sp.), which are the main prey objects for eagles, the starting date of migration were identical both in the Volga, the Southern Urals, and in the Altai.

The migratory range in the first year of Altai eagles was about 2.0–3.3 thousand km on the straight and 2.1–3.9 thousand km along the route for birds flying along the eastern migration route. For the eagle that flew to Mesopotamia, the migratory range was about 3.7 thousand km on the straight and 3.9 thousand km along the route. The migratory range of the Volga-Ural eagles in the first year varied from 1.9 to 3.9 thousand km on the straight and from 2.1 to 4.8 thousand km along the route The site fidelity and natal philopatry was very high – all eagles returned to the natal population if they survived their journey The Altai eagles spent the second summer (a male and a female) and the third and fourth summer (a male) mostly in the highlands of Altai and Tarbagatai, where the imperial eagle does not nest, periodically visiting breeding grounds of parents, 350–550 km away from their summer home ranges
Only one male from Altai out of the 12 tagged birds survived to conditional sexual maturity (the 4th year of life). The death rate for 4 years was 92% (if we consider the rehabilitated bird also dead)
If we consider the whole set of deaths (10 dead birds), it can be said that the anthropogenic causes are the main ones – 90%, herewith the main threat is posed by power lines - 60% of all deaths (4 cases or 67% of which is electrocution and 33% – collision with wires).
