I know there is a lot of talk about bald eagles, but the golden eagles are powerhouses in their own right. You find them in N-America, North/South/Eastern Europe, Northern Africa and almost all of Asia.
They don't nest in some of the Northern countries though(chilly and all), but they have a presence some time of the year.
They are avian hunters and keep small herbivores from damaging farmlands and the population in check.
Their natural homes are grasslands and tundra
