The Bald Eagle is an opportunistic carnivore with the capacity to capture a great variety of prey. Throughout their range, fish often compromise the lion's share of their diet. Unlike some other eagle species, Bald Eagles, rarely take on evasive or dangerous prey on their own. The Bald Eagle mainly targets prey which is much smaller than themselves, with most live fish caught weighing 1 to 3 kg (2.2 to 6.6 lb) ~ Wikipedia
