A good start after Christmas, we had Golden Eagles visiting the whole day through.

A real fighter

A real fighter.
This Golden eagle has come for a visit recent years, it usually shows up at the end of December and stay until February. If another Golden eagle is in the area it will attack immediately. Last season it looked to have lost some of its strength and received several harsh attacks by the female area eagle.
Here with a natural crutch from a moose. I hope to see this eagle soon.

Golden eagles strong claws

The Golden eagles most deadly weapon is not the beak but it´s claws, which it forces down into it’s prey with the help of tendons in it’s claws. The Golden eagle possesses an almost unbelievable strength compared to its size. I know that skilled Golden eagles gets a hold over the head to avoid getting bitten and as we can see that´s what´s happening in this picture. The eagle takes no risks with a traffic killed badger.
