About These Birds
Golden Eagle
The golden eagle is one of the most powerful and agile raptors in the Northern Hemisphere. Revered by many cultures, it has been used in falconry for centuries, particularly by Kazakh eagle hunters of Central Asia. Golden eagles can dive at speeds exceeding 240 km/h when pursuing prey.
Black Hawk-eagle
The Black Hawk-eagle is a large, powerful forest raptor with black plumage, a prominent crest, yellow cere, and barred flight feathers visible in flight. It inhabits humid tropical forests from Mexico through Central America to Bolivia and Brazil, ranging from lowland rainforest to montane cloud forest. It preys on medium-sized birds, mammals, and reptiles, hunting within the forest canopy.
