The recording was made within <100 m from the nest; recorder being deployed in October 2022 with delayed start date until 15 February 2023.

Unmodified, “small talk”, calls of unknown function by an adult, likely female, Golden Eagle in the nest, close to or during egglaying, starting like “small-talk” in XC837111 (updated) and going over into a “soft clucking” call like in XC837088 (updated) and XC837110 (updated); presumably this type of calls can only be heard at short distance. Territory code: Ume02AC; coordinates given are not for that site but for the center of Umeå municipality. The recording was made within <100 m from the nest; recorder being deployed in October 2022 with delayed start date until 15 February 2023. Habitat: small hill with coniferous forest of pine (Pinus sylvestris) and spruce (Picea abies), altidude: approx. 290 m asl.

Male alone on nest. Especially near the end the female is probably calling in the background.

Sounds like some type of “conversation” (?) of the adult Golden Eagle pair, close to or during egglaying, maybe during a feeding event at the nest (?); unmodified begging calls from the female likely, surrounding three male (?) series of a clear, loudly call of unknown function. Territory code: Ume02AC; coordinates given are not for that site but for the center of Umeå municipality. The recording was made within <100 m from the nest; recorder being deployed in October 2022 with delayed start date until 15 February 2023. Habitat: small hill with coniferous forest of pine (Pinus sylvestris) and spruce (Picea abies), altidude: approx. 290 m asl.

Recording ab. 35 minutes during feeding of female on nest, most vocalization probably the female begging for food and a short reply by the male at 2:58 All pauses are deleted and replaced by Fade out to show the individual call sequences. distance to birds ab. 350-400 meters. Zoom F4 and Telinga MK2 parabolic stereo mic on tripod. XC471104 is part of this recording.

Although this is a zoo bird, I share the data since high-quality recordings of this species are rare. Uploaded by permission of the zoo. The original video is at https://twitter.com/moriokazoo/status/1500419417645199361?cxt=HHwWgsC5rdjgx9IpAAAA. The bird is currently incubating the eggs. This recording was made while taking a rest. The low voice reminds me of Haliaeetus pelagicus.

An unmodified, “soft”, “clucking-like call” of unknown function, similar to the one in XCxxxxxx (to be updated), from an adult of unknown sex. This call is of shorter duration than the “clucking calls” in XC837088, XC837104, XC837110, XC837112, and XC837157. Likewise, this type of “clucking-like call” can probably only be heard at short distance, too. Recording from the assumed incubation period. Territory code: Vin99AC; coordinates given are not for that site but for the center of Vindeln in Vindeln municipality. The recording was made within approx. 500 m from the nest, with quite open terrain all way between; recorder being deployed in October 2022 with delayed start date until 11 March 2023. Habitat: hillside with coniferous forest of spruce (Picea abies) and pine (Pinus sylvestris), altidude: approx. 280-290 m asl.

Although this is a zoo bird, I share the data since this type of call would be difficult to record in the wild. The bird (23 years old, same individual as in XC710018). The voice was extracted from the video at https://twitter.com/moriokazoo/status/1567817143445504005. Stronger notes after 0:46 were similar to the voice in the wild.

A series of unmodified adult, a bit “sucking“, begging calls, likely from the female (for argument see XC825207; see also XCxxxxxx, to be updated). Begging calls like this were frequently recorded at this territory from late March into April during the assumed laying and incubation period. Although begging calls are more likely to be heared from females (cf. XC825207), males probably have similar begging calls. Territory code: Vin99AC; coordinates given are not for that site but for the center of Vindeln in Vindeln municipality. The recording was made within approx. 500 m from the nest, with quite open terrain all way between; recorder being deployed in October 2022 with delayed start date until 11 March 2023. Habitat: hillside with coniferous forest of spruce (Picea abies) and pine (Pinus sylvestris), altidude: approx. 280-290 m asl.

An unmodified, a bit “sharp”, “clucking-like call” of unknown function from an adult of unknown sex (see also XCxxxxxx; to be updated).

Likewise, this type of “clucking-like call” can probably only be heard at short distance, too. Recording from the assumed incubation period.

A series of unmodified begging calls from an adult Golden Eagle during early breeding, probably during prelaying/nest-building. Based on the role of parents during breeding, it's likely the female who is begging for food from the male. Territory code: Ume02AC; coordinates given are not for that site but for the center of Umeå municipality. The recording was made within <100 m from the nest; recorder being deployed in October 2022 with delayed start date until 15 February 2023.
