Description
Eagle Gorge is an easily accessible gorge from Dedoplistsqaro. hanhikorppikotka, mustahaikara and muuttohaukka breed on the cliffs and can easily be seen from specific watchpoints along the routes. On warm days, käärmekotka and pikkukotka make regular appearances. In the forest down in the valley Kuhankeittäjä and kaukasianuunilintu can be heard in spring and summer.
The cliff walls are home to kallionakkeli, sinirastas and kalliopääsky. Near the parking lot mustapääsirkku, peltosirkku and kirjokerttu are heard singing or can be seen on migration. In autumn, neitokurki are sometimes seen migrating past the highest tops. Further along the path there is a breeding facility for wild fasaani , so a true wild bird of this species has to be encountered somewhere else.
