I would think so!

undortunatley, it is illegal to kill the bald eagle, but i am not sure about eating it. if u somehow found a freshly killed bird, by say accident such as a car hitting it, not likely, then maybe. but i believe it would illegal either way.

Bald Eagles are Americas bird. They are Federally protected by law. Possession or killing a bald eagle is a federal crime. Call your local police and let them handle recovering of the bird. If not, you could be charged with possession.

"The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has announced a final rule on two new permit regulations that would allow for the take of eagles and eagle nests under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (Eagle Act). The final rule should was published in the Federal Register on September 11, 2009. Bald Eagles were removed from the endangered species list in June 2007 because their populations recovered sufficiently. However, the protections under the Eagle Act continue to apply. When the Bald Eagle was delisted, the Service proposed regulations to create a permit program to authorize limited take of Bald Eagles and Golden Eagles where take is associated with otherwise lawful activities. The permits will authorize limited, non-purposeful take of Bald Eagles and Golden Eagles; authorizing individuals, companies, government agencies (including tribal governments), and other organizations to disturb or otherwise take eagles in the course of conducting lawful activities such as operating utilities and airports. Most permits issued under the new regulations would authorize disturbance. In limited cases, a permit may authorize the physical take of eagles, but only if every precaution is taken to avoid physical take. Removal of eagle nests would usually be allowed only when it is necessary to protect human safety or the eagles." Source and further information: http://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/baldeagle.htm
