Spanish Imperial Eagle photographed in the region of Extremadura in Spain. Extremadura is situated north and inland from Andalucia and east of the border with Portugal. Rare eagle breeding only in Spain and Portugal, with some immatures dispersing into North Africa. Mostly found in remote forested landscapes, especially those with a high density of rabbits. The name commemorates Prince Adalbert of Bavaria. Due to its distinct "epaulettes", old literature often referred to this species as the white-shouldered eagle.
