The Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) is one of the most powerful birds of prey, known for its strength, speed, and majestic appearance. Found across the Northern Hemisphere, it inhabits mountains, cliffs, and open plains. With a wingspan reaching over two meters, it soars gracefully while hunting rabbits, hares, and other small mammals. Its golden-brown plumage, especially the shimmering feathers on its head and neck, gives the bird its name. Revered in many cultures, the Golden Eagle symbolizes courage and freedom. Despite habitat loss and persecution, conservation efforts have helped stabilize many populations across Europe, Asia, and North America.

Steppe eagles arrive at their summer breeding grounds around April, at the start of spring. Large nests, up to a metre wide, are constructed from twigs and lined with various materials, such as old rags and camel dung. While the nests are usually placed on the ground in a position allowing a good view of the surroundings, as a result of habitat alteration and persecution, nests are increasingly being found in trees, bushes and on artificial structures. The female lays a clutch of between one and three eggs which are incubated for 45 days, with the chicks being brooded for a further 55 to 65 days before fledging. The steppe eagle is remarkably long lived, reaching up to 41 years in captivity.
