The contribution of ungulates to the diet of golden eagles has long been the most controversial and debated aspect of the species' whole biology. In total, deer comprise about 4.97% of all golden eagle food, bovids about 4.92%, pigs about 0.71% and pronghorns less than that. [10]

When salmon and trout are dying in winter after their summer spawning, feeding groups of Steller's sea eagles may mix with smaller golden eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) and white-tailed eagles to exploit this food source. This area is the only one in the golden eagle's nearly circumpolar range where they are extensively dependent on fish for prey. [61]
