Golden Eagle--CopyThat Trucker Hat

The mighty Golden Eagle is a force in motion. They range across parts of North America, Europe, Asia, and North Africa — a bird of mountains, open country, cliffs, tundra, and vast sky. The characteristic golden head and feather tips and highlights is strikingly beautiful and unique. 
They can be confused with juvenile bald eagles, red tail hawks or even turkey vultures when soaring--but the golden head and nape, as well as long 'pants'--feathers that come all the way to their feet--are unique to this bird.
They can dive at close to 200 miles per hour, soar for long distances on broad wings, and strike with talons whose grip strength is incredible--commonly cited anywhere from 500 to 750 PSI. They live a quieter more reclusive life than the Bald Eagle, preferring high and hidden places.
Like others at the top of the bird chain, this is an apex predator which means it has no predators, but does not mean it is without danger or threat to its existence.

Artist note
The golden eagle makes a certain question hard to ignore. It is difficult to imagine a creature so mighty — so fast, strong, and perfectly made for height and command — as vulnerable to anything we build. But even apex creatures live within habitats, territories, nesting places, prey systems, and landscapes that can be changed or lost.

This design note is not meant to sound an alarm. It is a quiet thought where the golden eagle can simply prompt a larger thought — maybe a golden rule of development? That progress should remember the wildlife living in the places it changes--and have a plan to help offset that as a vital condition. It may be a lofty goal but when I think of a time that's  a personal favorite era--the Genius Era--the accomplishments seemed out of reach. And some of the work done then is enjoyed now. It came from the depths of ingenuity and starts with caring enough. 
For now, it is enough to say progress does not have to mean forgetting the wildlife that lives here.

This Gen122 golden eagle was built from a low-detail anatomical scaffold and years of bird knowledge, and developed over months through original feather work, structure, light, texture, and layered transformation.
