The Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) is common in western North America, but rare in the East. Like all eagles, it belongs to the family Accipitridae. It is one of the largest birds of prey in North America; only the Bald Eagle and California Condor get larger. Golden eagles live in the Scottish Highlands.
