In our area, golden eagles primarily prey on small mammals, gamebirds, and snakes, lizards, and large insects. But carrion is also an important component of their diet; one deer feeds far more than the predator(s) who killed it.
Unfortunately, vehicle-killed deer along our roadways are one of the leading causes of eagle injuries and mortalities. Full from feeding, the raptors are slower to take off and often collide with cars and trucks.
