That's a big bird; maybe mouse pickin's were slim so he decided to "move up the food chain"?

Birds will go after big stuff like goats and wolves.

Personally the whole shadow thing doesn't do it for me as it's pretty impossible to determine the exact topography of that hill at this distance. The could be a small mound hiding it in the first frame.

The video is a fake. Part of a “Hoax the Internet” competition from Centre NAD in Montreal. The admission of “guilt” from the NAD website:

The “Golden Eagle Snatches Kid” video, uploaded to YouTube on the evening of December 18, was made by Normand Archambault, Loïc Mireault and Félix Marquis-Poulin, students at Centre NAD, in the production simulation workshop class of the Bachelors degree in 3D Animation and Digital Design.
The video shows a royal eagle snatching a young kid while he plays under the watch of his dad. The eagle then drops the kid a few feet away. Both the eagle and the kid were created in 3D animation and integrated in to the film afterwards.
The video has already received more than 1,200,000 views on YouTube and has been mentioned by dozens of media in Canada and abroad.
The production simulation workshop class, offered in fifth semester, aims to produce creative projects according to industry production and quality standards while developing team work skills. Hoaxes produced in this class have already garnered attention, amongst others a video of a penguin having escaped the Montreal Biodôme.​

Dont know about the kid, but I have seen a few cats get snatched by the Bald Eagles in our area. They fly over head and you can hear the cats just screeching.

eagles have been known to pick up small deer and drop them to the ground from a hundred or so feet up to kill them.. a few of them have wound up in power lines.

I've seen Golden eagles and Bald eagles close up at wild animal demostrations. The Golden is significantly larger than the Bald. We are actually seeing a comeback of Bald eagles here in NH. They were thought to gone for good here. I've seen 2 local and 2 in the lakes region this year. With their size and wingspan they are very capable of snatching a child, dog, goat, etc. This video was faked but it's certainly possible.

I've seen that as well. There are a few big birds that hang out on the light poles on 191st. I watched one fly to the back of a house and grab a cat. I couldn't believe it.

bald eagles are pretty thick around here. i've almost hit a few of them that were snacking on roadkill.
