The US banned lead birdshot in 1991. Are they eating squirrels?

Eagles will eat just about anything they physically can so probably lots of squirrels, rabbits, smaller possums and raccoons but also eagles will sometimes eat carrion so I could certainly imagine they sometimes get this off something like a deer carcass.

IIRC, some bald eagles were found with neurological issues caused by nicotine from cigarette butts too.
