yes, but the footage is of eagles dragging goat kids over the edge of the
cliff, not lifting them; and the video about the Bald Eagle & the fawn is
interesting because of how emaciated the carcass looks -- wonder of that
was an eagle kill or scavanged.

clearly the eagle in the subject footage got the child (or "child" off the
ground for a few feet, tho it never looked like it was going to make the
trees. but also hard to imagine that someone would try that on a real
child. curious footage in any case.

I've never seen anything that indicates a large raptor can lift much more
than its own weight (which is to say, a rabbit or hare, tho some large
ones).
