Spirit usually flies the early season games, something about the heat being better for bald eagles than golden eagles. I'd expect that has more to do with the practicing than the actual game flight itself.

you can tell them apart because Nova is three toned with a bondo-ed wing

In falconry, the bird must be hungry or it will just fly away. Cooler weather increases their metabolism, and their urge to eat. Usually, a hawk/eagle/falcon can be flown at a higher weight in cooler weather without risk of it just flying away. So, apparently, the golden eagle is a bit less prone to coming to the lure, and needs the incentive of cooler weather.
And that concludes our nerdy lesson on falconry.

It is named Archie. Out of respect.

So not only do you have two separate animal mascots, but two different types of one of them? Jesus.

None. I'm waiting until next month. I'll have another red tailed hawk then.

Considering the health-state of most recent Uga's, I'd think the last people to make fun of Auburn's mascots would be a Georgia fan.
