Pilings, located in open water, make convenient places for birds to rest or enjoy a meal and this eagle was thoroughly enjoying its meal of fresh fish. Bald Eagle facts: The bald eagle is Canada's largest bird of prey. It gets its food by direct capture, scavenging and stealing prey from other animals. Its diet consists primarily of fish. However, if fish are scarce, eagles refuse to go hungry and instead feast on rabbits, squirrels, birds and even young deer! ~ Canadian Geographic
