- Wingspan up to 6 to 7 feet.
- Generally solitary or found in pairs.
- Their keen eyes can see clearly and in color, allowing the eagle to spot movement from a long distance.
- Golden Eagles are monogamous and may mate for life.
- They can dive upon their quarry at up to 150mph.
- May nest on rocks, cliffs, or the ground at Thacker Pass.
Lithium mining at Thacker Pass would destroy critical Golden Eagle habitat. Golden Eagles are sensitive to human disturbances and are likely to abandon their nests.
One more reason to resist.
We keep losing so many species of animals. These companies need to find ways to operate without harming our environment and it’s natural inhabitants.
There is no way to operate a mine–i.e. destroy thousands of acres of habitat, run a refinery 24×7, run trucks 24×7, etc.–without harming the environment and natural communities. Mining is incompatible with life. There is no compromise.
