[va-richmond-general] FW: [Va-bird] Bald Eagle eating wood

I don't know about the eating part, but I observed a pair of adult Bald Eagles 
at Point of Rocks on Saturday, 12/27, expressing interest in a possible next 
site, with one carrying around a stick. Maybe it's getting to be that time of 
year when wood becomes of interest to Eagles.

Subject: [Va-bird] Bald Eagle eating wood

We have an adult BALD EAGLE that perches regularly in a dead tree in our 
neighbor's yard.  The tree has been dead for a couple of years and is getting 
pretty rotten.

This morning I observed the eagle apparently feeding on something at the top of 
the limb that it was perched on.  I figured it was the remnants of a fish 
catch.  On closer examination however, it broke off and swallowed a fair sized 
chunk of rotten wood.
