Energy Source
A Bald Eagles main food source is fish like salmon, bass and catfish. However they will eat anything if they need to including ducks, birds, mice, meadow voles, ground hogs, and some dead organisms.
Heterotroph: An organism that receives energy by eating it's food.
-Bald Eagles are heterotrophs.
-Bald Eagles are carnivores. They stick to eating fish but if they must eat something else they still eat only meat.
Energy Part II
-An example of an invasive species that is effecting Bald Eagles is a plant called hydrilla that showed up in Georgia from Asia. From tests, scientists have linked that plant with a disease called Avian Vacuolar Myelinopathy, or AVM that have been effecting Bald Eagles since. This does not effect my food web at all except take out the Bald Eagle population.*
