When do eagles form groups together?

Usually, either outside of the breeding season or during migration is the time you'll mostly see eagles together. However, during the breeding season, if you ever happen to see a nest, you may see young birds hanging about with the adult birds for some time after fledging the nest - the amount of time varies by species, but this generally lasts a couple of weeks.

During migration, birds aren't actually co-operating with one another, and they form these large flocks as many of them are going to the same place, and therefore sharing a similar route. It also allows them to use the same wind currents and thermals to help aid their flight. Eagle migration groups can often include hundreds of birds and sometimes even thousands.

During the breeding season, most eagles - like most birds, become territorial and aggressive towards other birds. This is to protect their young and patch of territory used to catch prey, etc.

Golden Eagles generally aren't that sociable even outside of the breeding season and usually only tolerate their mate. In contrast, species like the bald eagle are much more tolerant of other species of birds and will happily be around them. This is unless it's another bald eagle, which they will then not tolerate their company. Steller's Sea Eagles are also quite gregarious and known to happily form groups from time to time.
