*** About Golden Eagles: Golden eagles are among the best-known birds of prey in the Northern Hemisphere. They are large raptors, with wingspans that can exceed 2 meters (7 feet). Predominantly brown with lighter golden-brown plumage on their heads and necks, these eagles are known for their agility and speed, reaching diving speeds of over 240 kilometers per hour (150 miles per hour) to snatch up prey. They typically build their nests in high places like cliffs or tall trees. These birds are highly territorial and can inhabit regions for years, maintaining vast territories that require superior aerial surveillance to defend.
