How can you recognise a golden eagles footprint?

A golden eagle's footprint is characterized by its large size, typically measuring around 4 to 5 inches long. The footprint features three long, sharp talons in front and often a smaller toe at the back, which may leave a distinctive imprint. The overall shape is oval, and the depth of the print can indicate the weight and power of the bird. Look for footprints in areas where they hunt or roost, often found near cliffs or open fields.
