Golden Eagles are found throughout mountainous regions of North America, Europe, Asia and North Africa and the tiaga forests of Canada.

Golden Eagles are reverse size dimorphic, meaning that the females are larger than the males.

(above data from A Photographic Guide to North American Raptors, Wheeler & Clark 1995). We highly recommend this book for anyone interested in raptors.

Within their range, Golden Eagles can be found breeding where there are cliffs or trees for nesting and at least one species of hare or rabbit and at least one species of ground squirrel or marmot for prey.

"Golden's" can be seen at many Raptor Migration sites: Go to Raptor Migration Page
