The golden eagle has broad, rounded wings, and its feathers range in color from black-brown to dark brown. They have territories up to 155 km² (60 square miles) in size. They are monogamous and will stay with their mate for the rest of their lives. They are excellent hunters and can fly hundreds of miles while foraging for food. When hunting, they frequently work in pairs.
They are usually silent, but during mating and nesting season, they make a high-pitched note repeated several times. As part of courtship, males frequently perform an aerial display, making a shallow dive. The repeated high flight followed by steep dives are used to defend territory.
