The golden eagle is found all over Colorado, Washington, Oregon, and other western states. In Colorado they are found on the plains, canyons, and mountain sides. They have gold feathers on their heads and they have brown feathers everywhere else including their legs. Usually only two eggs are laid. Only the females sit on the eggs.
Incubation lasts about thirty-five days.
By 7 weeks the babies will get their big feathers. When they are 4 or 5 years old they will choose their mate. They will build a nest 100 miles from the nest they were raised in. To attract a mate they will do somersaults in the air and do tricks. They stay together for all of their lives.
