We get a number of bald eagles in Colorado over the winter (and a few that stay and nest in the summer). I have seen them kill full grown Canadian Geese in the winter and catch ducks in the air (very fast). Bald Eagles in particular are shockingly fast and agile when they want to be. They can be magnificent predators when they need to be but they are also very flexible and adaptable and if there is an easier option they will choose it. I've been a falconer for 30 years and eagles (both Bald and Golden Eagles) can be the bane of a falconer's existence in some areas. Eagles are the absolute apex avian predator and they make a significant part of their living bullying other birds of prey and taking their kills. I've known a number of falconers that have had their falcons or hawks killed by Eagles, I assume it happens in the wild all the time as well. I've seen our local eagles regularly harassing Osprey and taking their fish in the summer. It's like Bears, Wolves and Mountain Lions, they can also be magnificent predators, but when presented with an easier option like getting into the trash or eating someone's pet or livestock they'll often take it easier option. Oh, and eagles might not snatch babies, but they have definitely killed people's dogs: https://www.outtherecolorado.com/news/family-dog-killed-by-bald-eagle-in-colorado/article_a6c60d9e-def2-5c82-a467-b2039fa8f99f.html https://www.outtherecolorado.com/news/family-dog-killed-by-b...
