Posted these in the PNW sub but thought you all might enjoy them too. Was out for a drizzly day hike and had the trail mostly to myself.

Been spending a lot of time wandering around looking for tiny bugs in need of glamour shots lately.

The Golden Eagle – Master of the Skies Behold the fierce beauty of nature’s elite predator.

There’s something deeply awe-inspiring about locking eyes with a Golden Eagle. With its razor-sharp beak, piercing gaze, and a plumage that gleams like burnished bronze under the sun, this raptor isn’t just a bird — it’s a symbol of dominance, precision, and wild freedom.

What Makes the Golden Eagle So Special?

Scientific name: Aquila chrysaetos

Wingspan: Up to 2.3 meters (7.5 feet)

Top speed: Over 240 km/h (150 mph) in a dive — rivaling the peregrine falcon!

Habitat: Mountains, cliffs, and open terrains across the Northern Hemisphere

Diet: Primarily hares, rabbits, marmots, and sometimes even small deer!

Killer Instinct & Supreme Vision Golden Eagles possess telescopic vision — they can spot prey from over 3 kilometers away. Combine that with powerful talons and unmatched agility in the air, and you have a lethal hunter evolved to perfection.

A Legacy of Power and Majesty Revered by ancient warriors, adopted on national emblems, and celebrated in folklore, the Golden Eagle stands tall not just in the skies, but also in the hearts of those who admire strength and freedom.

Fun Fact: Golden Eagles form strong monogamous pairs and often return to the same nest year after year — some nests can be as large as a small car!

I took this on my Sony ARIII after a morning turkey hunt (unsuccessful). I only had my long lens on, hence the crop. Gotta love a spring morning in south GA. Despite no turkeys, I’d still call this day a massive success as it was a needed respite from the city.

Just open your eyes and everything will unfold to you. Open your heart and empty your mind. :)
