...Saw a bald eagle grab a dead woodchuck off the road last year.He was working like crazy to get airborne...

Didn’t know bald eagles ate roadkill till I saw that on a county road too.

I expect that they eat whatever they've a mind to. :-)

Many moons ago, I was fishing a pretty good stretch of river. Came up over the edge of a deep cutbank, and ran into a bald eagle who was fishing pretty intently as well.

He was on a branch overhanging the river and was as close to me as you are to your computer monitor right now. We both let out a squawk and decided that we had other places to be.

Going eye-to-eye with an adult bald eagle, unexpectedly, in the wild, and at arm's length, is quite an experience. They're darn big birds!

Saw that in MN. Big beautiful baldy feasting on dead deer alongside the road. Just watched us race by.
