We have learned that they are actually opportunistic feeders that eat carrion as much as anything else. We know they are wooses and that smaller birds easily run them off. The osprey is a much better fisher and the Eagle is not above harassing the osprey til it drops its catch then stealing it. They have a really unimpressive call….not like the red tail’s goosebump raising scream. Even knowing all that, the Bald Eagle is a majestic thing to see. Soaring or perched they look regal and proud. I could watch them every day.
