FIGURE 4 
Figure 4. The open hole near the Burning Grounds (B on Figure 1) was very small 
during late winter. Eagles usually perched in the large trees in the center of the 
picture, but occasionally they stood on the ice. The eagles waded in search of 
Gizzard Shad, the primary food, when the open area was small and the water 
shallow. Eagles roosted in the trees to the upper left and right of the picture. 
FIGURES 
Figure 5. During fairly mild winter periods the open water at the Burning Grounds 
extended to the vicinity of the trees in the background of Figure 4. At such times 
the eagles obtained fish by circling the water, swooping down and capturing fish 
with their talons; by standing on the ice, reaching into the water with their beaks or 
talons; by swooping down to the water from a perch and striking fish with their 
talons; or by wading in the shallow waters and capturing fish with their beaks.
