I do not know if you know that golden eagle pairs maintain territories , which may be 155 square kilometers (60 square miles). Golden eagles are much more aggressive than bald eagles, they may attack intruders by diving at them or locking talons.
Golden eagles are generally solitary or found in pairs, however, wintering adults may also be found in groups during times of extreme weather or very abundant food.
Golden eagles are excellent hunters. They often work in pairs while hunting: one eagle drives the prey to its waiting partner. The talons on their feet kill and carry the prey, while the beak is only for eating.

The most powerful eagle is the one that can tackle dangerous prey, a prey that fights back like large snakes, monitor lizard, large monkeys such as macaques,dogs, and small pigs.. Not because an eagle like Crowned eagle can take large deer such as bushbucks or duikers that can weigh 37 kg can be considered the most powerful eagle, any large eagle can take down a large deer which is almost defenseless to aerial predators like large eagles and some eagles are confined to what is available prey to their home range esp. if they are non-migratory like the Harpy and Philippine eagles, Unlike the Crowned eagle which can has a wide variety of large mammalian prey in its home-range, The Most Powerful Eagle is the one that can take on dangerous prey, can lift heavy prey twice as much as its own body weight up to its nest. the Philippine eagle tackles a variety of prey like large snakes such as cobra, reticulated python, monitor lizard, macaques that can weigh 6-10 kgs It was even documented taking on a large python that took a long gruelling fight and Philippine eagle had survive the ordeal and captured by the villagers due to exhaustion No other eagle specie have known to take on a large constrictor and survived… Philippine eagle is the Largest and Most Powerful Eagle in the World. Not the Crowned Eagle.
