The Back Story:
Eagle with Fish
To catch a fish, eagles watch the water surface from a perch or while soaring, swooping down close to the water and planting their curved razor sharp talons through the water and into the fish. This maneuver has given eagles the name raptor, which comes from a Latin word "rapere" meaning to grip or grasp. Rough bumps on the eagle's toes also help them hold slippery, flailing fish. The Bald Eagle's diet is opportunistic and varied, but most feed mainly on fish.
In the Pacific Northwest, spawing trout and salmon provide much of the Bald Eagle's diet.
