The White-tailed Eagle is a resident that remains in Sweden year-round.
Stationary: adult eagles stay close to their territories by the coast and lakes even in winter.
Gatherings: in winter White-tailed Eagles gather at open water — Lake Hornborga during the spring ice break-up is a classic site with 30 or more eagles at once.
Winter food: carrion becomes extremely important during the cold season, above all elk, seal and roe deer carcasses.
Artificial feeding with mercury-free food in winter was long a mainstay of the species' rescue.
