When the golden eagle watches for prey while gliding over its hunting ground, hardly flapping its wings, snow and black grouse, groundhogs, hares and other animals had better watch out. Even the quick kestrel can't escape when the golden eagle has it in its sights. The fox and the common raven may be more intelligent than the golden eagle, but if they aren't careful they might also end up as a meal for the young eagles in the eyrie. The golden eagle is an extremely crafty hunter: optimally exploiting all cover, it glides close to the ground over knolls and low hills along hillsides and attempts to surprise its prey from a short distance. When it spies prey, it swoops down onto it in a nosedive. The eagle has already killed the surprised prey before it even realises what is happening to it.

This documentary gives an intimate portrait of this large bird of prey and tracks the birth and coming of age of two Golden Eagle chicks in the High Tatra Mountains, from the hatching of the eggs, until the moment when the young birds leave the nest. Tragic and funny moments make this movie an entertaining trip into the treetops of the European forests.

  • Some Fascinating Facts about these revered birds of prey:  1. Golden eagles use their agility and speed combined with powerful feet and massive, sharp talons to snatch up a variety of prey, mainly hares, rabbits, and marmots and other ground squirrels. 2. The golden eagle is one of the best-known birds of prey in the Northern Hemisphere. Specifically, the location of our documentary: Northern Scandinavia  3. They build large nests in cliffs and other high places to which they may return for several breeding years. Most breeding activities take place in the spring; they are monogamous and may remain together for several years or possibly for life.  4. For centuries, this species has been one of the most highly regarded birds used in falconry. Due to its hunting prowess, the golden eagle is regarded with great mystic reverence in some ancient, tribal cultures. 5. The female Golden Eagle typically lays 4 eggs; usually only 1-2 baby eagles survive until the Fall, when they take flight to establish their own territories. We’ve got furry creatures, beautiful mountainous landscape and magnificent birds. What more could you want on a Friday afternoon? Enjoy!

    As a kid, you are into watching the birds only. But as an adult, you wonder how much effort it took to record everything. I praise these cameramen more than Disney and Hollywood.

    The low caw-ing sound around 1:19 is what I’ve been looking for in order to identify the birds I’ve spotted and heard multiple times in north central Pennsylvania!!! Just spotted two in Sullivan County, PA!! Thank you for this documentary!! I’ve spent the last hour (probably more!) looking for this! Great content thank you!
