The bird of prey found in North America, another of its ilk is the sea eagle, and it has two known subspecies and forms a species pair with the white-tailed eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla).

Meanwhile, researchers study one special golden eagle, using cutting-edge filming technology to capture her hunting techniques and flight maneuvers.
