A Bald Eagle's diet consists mainly of fish, sometimes making up to 90% of it's diet. When a Bald Eagle is not fishing, it will feed on almost anything it can catch, including ducks, wading birds, turtles, rodents, snakes, and carrion (dead animal matter). Bald Eagles snatch fish from above the surface of the water rather than plunging into the water like an osprey. Since they snatch fish from close to the surface, the fish they seem to catch most are fish with downward looking eyes such as catfish and carp. It is believed fish with upward eyes can see danger approaching and are more likely to escape the talons of an eagle.


Go to the related link. I made this website for a school project about the bald eagle. Look at bald eagles in their ecosystem and then food web.
They eat many, many things like; geese, platypus, Carrion(dead meat), shorebirds, seagulls, ducks, Songbirds, turtles, snakes, frogs, squirrels, muskrats, rabbits and mostly fish. But, some winter days it does not eat.

small mamals and small birds such as small mice or even small deer, but it will also eat small birds
The Bald Eagle's diet is opportunistic and varied, but most feed mainly on fish. In the Pacific Northwest, spawning trout and salmon provide most of the Bald Eagles' diet.[23] Locally, eagles may rely largely on carrion, especially in winter, and they will scavenge carcasses up to the size of whales, though it seems that carcasses of ungulates and large fish are preferred. They also may sometimes feed on subsistence scavenged or stolen from campsites and picnics, as well as garbage dumps. Mammalian prey includes rabbits, hares, raccoons, muskrats, beavers, sea otters, and deer fawns. Preferred avian prey includes grebes, alcids, ducks, gulls, coots, egrets and geese. Most live prey are quite a bit smaller than the eagle, but predatory attacks on large birds such as the Great Blue Heron and even swans have been recorded. Reptiles, amphibians and crustaceans (especially crabs) are preyed on when Source: Bald Eagle: Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bald_Eagle
The bald eagle is a predator, so it eats small animals and reptiles. They can see a mouse three miles away.

Bald eagles are also scavengers; in Alaska, it isn't uncommon to see large numbers of bald eagles perched on open garbage dumpsters.
Bald eagles eat all types of stuff, Most eat fish, such as trout, salmon, and sea fish, but that depends on where they live, in the mountains they eat trout, salmon, and possibly small rodents, but more at sea level they eat sea fish and rodents such as mice, rats, and rabbits, they also eat snakes, lizard's, and some amphibian's.
