Golden eagle attack. A chamois fall hard from a cliff

A golden eagle hunts a chamois under the watchful gaze of a snow leopard.

The golden eagle (lat. Aquila chrysaetos) is one of the most famous birds of prey of the hawk family, the largest eagle. The golden eagle has the status of a rare species in the Red Book of Russia. Distributed in the Northern Hemisphere, where it lives mainly in the mountains, and to a lesser extent in flat open and semi-open landscapes. Avoids residential areas and is sensitive to human disturbance.

In most of the range they live sedentary, keeping in pairs near the nest; on the northern periphery of the distribution area and highlands, some birds migrate to less snowy areas. Hunts a wide variety of game, most often hares, rodents and many species of birds. Sometimes attacks sheep, calves and baby deer.

The nest is made in a tree or on a hard-to-reach rocky ledge. There are usually two eggs in a clutch, but most often only one chick survives. In Central Asia, the golden eagle is used for commercial hunting of foxes, hares, and sometimes wolves and goitered gazelles.

Over the past centuries, the golden eagle has disappeared from many areas where it previously lived – the reasons for this were mass extermination, the use of pesticides, urbanization and the change of land for economic needs. Currently, the golden eagle, like most other European raptors, is protected by state legislation and intergovernmental agreements.

A very large and strong eagle – body length 76-93 cm, wingspan 180-240 cm. Females are much larger than males, their weight varies from 3.8 to 6.7 kg, while for males from 2.8 up to 4.6 kg. The beak is typically eagle-like: high and laterally compressed, hook-shaped and bent downwards.

The feathers on the neck are somewhat elongated – a feature also found in the Imperial Eagle. The wings are long and wide, somewhat narrowed at the base and at the hind finger, so that when soaring, the rear edge of the wing looks curved in the shape of the Latin Letter S; this characteristic feature is most pronounced in young birds.

The tail is slightly rounded and longer than other typical eagles. In relation to the width of the wing, it is more close to hawk eagles, in particular to the dwarf eagle, but unlike it, it is wide and open like a fan in flight. When soaring, the bird spreads its front flight feathers in a finger-like manner.
