The South Mississippi Golden Eagle...

Bear Witness.

Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere.

Golden eagle prey includes marmots, hares and mice, THUNDERING HERD,and sometimes birds, RAGIN CAJUNS, AUBURN TIGERS, BLAZERS, MINERS, Martens, foxes, young deer, MUSTANGS, OWLS, MEMPHIS TIGERS and livestock including lambs, GOLDEN NIGHTS, GREEN WAVE, PIRATES, GOLDEN HURRICANE, COUGARS, and young goats.

During winter months when prey is scarce, Golden Eagles scavenge on carrion to supplement their diet.

As an example this often leads South Mississippi's breed of Golden Eagles to prey on UTEP, UAB, East Carolina, Marshall, Rice, Houston, Memphis, Tulane, SMU, Tulsa, and UCF.

Sometimes when no carrion is available golden eagles will hunt down owls, hawks, falcons, coyotes, young to adult wolves, wolverines and even young cougars and bear cubs (OR ANY NCAA TEAM). There are records of golden eagles killing Eurasian Eagle Owls, wolves and hawks.

Golden Eagles have very good eyesight and can spot prey from a long distance. The talons are used for killing and carrying the prey, the beak is used only for eating. They often have a division of labour while hunting, one bird driving the prey towards its waiting partner. On the other hand, the size difference between males and females allows more unpaired birds to live off the land, helpful to maintain a sufficiently large population in this large and slowly-maturing bird.
