Golden Eagle 2026, 1/4 ounce of fine gold, reverse
On the reverse the golden eagle sits upright before a conifer forest, and on the obverse it flies in with its wings spread wide. Its time of the year is late winter, when the breeding season begins.
Late winter · The golden eagle
In early February its breeding season begins.
In Germany the golden eagle lives only in the Bavarian Alps. There its breeding season begins in early February, and eggs are laid from late February.
It usually builds its eyrie on smaller cliff faces, sometimes in trees as well, and each pair can have several alternate nests. It advertises its territory with undulating display flights.
It hunts mainly at the tree line and above.
In the monitoring by Berchtesgaden National Park, covering more than 1,500 km² between the Inn and the Salzach, no change of partner was documented in the 15 occupied territories in 2024.
A year outdoors
Each animal has its moment in the year.
From the first brooding in late winter to the winter cluster: this is how the year passes outdoors.
