Golden Eagle Aigle royal Aquila chrysaetos Pika: a golden eagle's savoury snack. Pika: une collation succulente pour l'aigle royal. Photo: Mark Look for a chocolate brown bird of prey soaring above you here in the alpine. An eagle rarely flaps its wings. Feel the sharp points of this eagle's talons. Like a wrench, they can lock in place around its prey. Act like an eagle. Watch carefully for rabbits, pikas and marmots. Small mammals are the preferred snacks of this large raptor. Cherchez un oiseau de proie de couleur brun chocolat planant au-dessus de vous ici, dans la zone alpine. L'aigle bat rarement des ailes. Touchez les serres pointues de cet oiseau. L'aigle peut les serrer comme un étau autour de sa proie. Imitez l'aigle. Déployez vos «ailes>> et tâchez de repérer des lapins, des pikas et des marmottes. Ce grand rapace est très friand des petits mammifères. [UNVERIFIABLE: 1 short fragment elsewhere on this sign could not be corroborated and is not shown]
