Reproduction: golden eagles breed across central Canada, Western US, Alaska and Mexico. They have similar breeding habits to the bald eagle, but they build their nests on cliffs instead. Golden eagles do not breed until they reach five years of age. They lay their first egg in March. The clutch usually consists of two eggs, which are incubated over a six week period.

Physical Description: Golden eagles are the largest predatory birds in North America. They have dark brown plumage except for a golden area near the crown, nape and sides of the neck and face. Females are considerably larger than males.
