I'm recently back from a trip to Morocco, and during my time there I noted the reported sighting of a Tawny Eagle near Gorges du Dades. This got me wondering about this, and another species.
What is it's current status in Morocco? A couple of sources list it as a very rare breeder, and I note Gosney and Bergier suggest Goulimine as a site. Furthermore, a tour company had a bird near the Zaers (I think) in recent years.
I am also interested to know if Dark Chanting Goshawk is now considered extinct in the Western Palearctic, as this seems to be the case.
I wonder if anyone has ever spent a couple of weeks from one of the hills in the Sous Valley looking specifically for these two species.
