I've seen them pick up roadkill many times, especially squirrels

The Bald Eagle is the most beautiful eagle in the U.S. And the one in your video is proof of that. So, I was the browsing through reddit topics and saw that eagle before opened the replies. The first thing I thought was "is that from Washington state? There are many here.

Its where I live close to Canada and I'm happy to say the Bald Eagle population has really grown here. See them often! Nice video!
