The golden eagle is a large bird of prey found in much of the northern hemisphere.BBC: The Golden Eagle
Mating
Golden eagles mate for life and will defend their large territory against other eagles to protect their eggs and young. The male and female build the nest together, usually on a cliff ledge with a protective overhang, but sometimes in a tree. The nest is built from large branches and sticks and is often lined with pungent leaves to deter insects and other small pests. The nest can sometimes become very large as the pair will often return to their regular haunt year after year, adding to it each time.Nesting
Golden eagles lay 1 or 2 eggs per clutch, which will hatch after a 34-45 day incubation period.BBC: The Golden Eagle The eaglets fledge within 75 days.Notice Nature: Golden Eagle Fledglings The male and female share the incubation. The male is the major food provider during incubation and rearing. Young eagles reach maturity around five years of age.
