a bald egle can dive at over 132 miles an hour! they use this speed to kill large water fowl on contact! but its not really diving. they flap their wings while their body at a 45 degree angle! when they go to fast the retract thier wings to half way! when they go to slow they flap as hard as they can! but they realy dive when their fighting or protecting their young! but on average! they " power glide" at 76 to 96 miles an hour

A. Pretty fast when they do it, i’d bet 75+mph, although they seldom really “dive”.. They catch prey by flying low and “snatching with their feet mostly, not like ospreys or peregrine falcons that actually dive at their prey.
