Booted eagles are eagles that have fully feathered tarsi. That is, their legs are covered with feathers down to the feet. Most other accipitrids have bare lower legs, scaled rather than feathered. They may be treated as an informal group, as distinct from "fish eagles" (or "sea eagles"), "snake eagles", and "giant forest eagles".
The booted eagle is a small eagle, comparable to the common buzzard in size though more eagle-like in shape. Males grow to about 510–770 g (1.12–1.70 lb) in weight , with females about 840–1,025 g (1.852–2.260 lb) with a length of 40 cm and a wingspan of 110–132 cm.
“Bald eagles only gain their white crown of feathers when they have reached full maturity. As such, they are messengers that gaining wisdom takes time and experience,” Pickett explains.
Eagle is the common name for the golden eagle, bald eagle, and other birds of prey in the family of the Accipitridae. Eagles belong to several groups of genera, some of which are closely related.

The subadult eastern imperial eagle may be confused with older immature greater spotted eagles (Clanga clanga) but the latter is less contrastingly patterned, without a paler shawl and has greater covert band below (despite the rare hint of one on some imperials) and densely bared flight feathers.

Golden eagles may express their aggression via body language while perched, typically the adult female when confronted by an intruding eagle: the head and body are upright, feathers on head and neck are erect; the wings may be slightly spread and beak open; often accompanied by intense gaze.
Other large eagles have been confirmed to hunt adult Old World monkeys, including martial eagles, [51] Verreaux's eagles, [52] mountain hawk-eagles [53] [54] and Philippine eagles, whose generic scientific name and old common was even the monkey-eating eagle, [55] but all are believed to rely on non-primate prey for the majority of their diet.
