all the birds of prey, the golden eagle has the most voracious appetite. This unpopular hunter will perch on the
top of the loftiest peak where he can scan the valleys below for helpless prey. Or he may glide lazily through the
air thousands of feet above the earth. When he spies a luckless lamb or calf, he folds his wings against his sides
and power-dives upon his victim. If his target is a rabbit or a squirrel, he will swoop upon it with his claws,
barely breaking his speed. If he is attacking a larger animal, he will engage it in battle and rift it apart with his
strong break and sharp talons.
