The bald eagle is noted for having flown with the heaviest load verified to be carried by any flying bird, since one eagle flew with a 6.8 kg (15 lb) mule deer fawn. However, some of them are known carry prey heavier than them self, Such prey is too heavy to fly with, thus it is either eaten at the site of the kill or taken in pieces back to a perch or nest. 

The sea eagles are very large eagles that live along rivers, big lakes, and tidewater throughout the world except South America.
