*** About Golden Eagles: Golden eagles are among the largest birds of prey in North America, known for their impressive wingspan and keen hunting skills. Residing across diverse habitats, these eagles typically prefer mountainous terrains and remote glacial landscapes, similar to the rugged settings of Alberta. Mating pairs build enormous nests, often reused and added to each year, in high cliff faces. These powerful raptors hunt a variety of prey, from rabbits to marmots, and are also noted for their remarkable flight abilities, capable of reaching speeds when diving to catch prey. Their symbolic significance spans many cultures, representing strength and freedom.
