But these birds are opportunistic eaters, also dining on birds, small mammals, and carrion. To keep their diet balanced, we supplement with deer, bear, and more, mimicking what they’d naturally find. #WhatsForDinner #BaldEagle #WildlifeDiet #FeedingTime | Alaska Raptor Center

While fish is the centerpiece of a Bald Eagle’s diet, they will also eat birds, reptiles, amphibians, and mammals, including carrion. Bald Eagles can eat a large amount of food and digest it over a long period of time, allowing them to fast for several days. | Alaska Raptor Center | Facebook
