The Golden Eagle

Description:

The Golden Eagle (Accitridae order) can be distinguished by its large size, its gliding and sliding flight with few wing beats, the primaries wide apart and sometimes upwards and the tail rather square. The uniformly dark plumage with a yellow gold colour on the head and the neck.

It hunts scouring the mountain sides. It can be distinguished by the eagle of the sea because of its flight, but also by its longer and more square tail, the lack of white on the lower wing coverts; when it is placed, for the less massive appearance and, from a short-distance, for the smaller beak and the feathered shanks.
