Well, it's only predator is man, so besides the guy being a terrible shot, they could come in and peck their eyes out, but most people that go hunting for bald eagles are poachers and they are generally good shots.

Eagles seem to attempt to defend themselves until outnumbered. Then, they fly away - if possible.

A month ago, at SeaTac in Seattle WA. I witnessed a flock of crows attacking a bald eagle. It had one up on the three or four, but there was a flock coming in at all different angles about a football field away from the runway. The eagle was about 150 ft up with the three or four, but when the others came, it swooped down about 8 to 10 ft above the ground (damn! I wished my camera would have loaded at that time), and it went right by the cars. I was worried that it would get hit by the cars and trucks. It dodged the flock, but they were hot on it's trail.

I have seen a couple of attacks like this in the West Seattle area for hawks and eagles alike, and their strategy seems to be the same - either fly up as high and fast as possible or down as low and near the brush, buildings, etc as possible. Either way, they always seem to defend and then try to make it out alive. .

using its very sharp talons and by diving out of the air to attack its pray so it does not see the eagle.

It actually does a nose dive for speed then rears up to grab with its talons
