Ravens (who symbolize wisdom) and eagles (who symbolize  courage) are 
famously carrion eaters, the birds of Odin who gather at the  battlefield to 
feast after the battle, but I thought the bald eagle ate  fishes. IIRC I read an 
article about its larger Siberian cousin the  white-shouldered eagle diving 
for salmon and ripping open the salmon skin that  lesser birds aren't 
strong enough to tear.

This is off topic but for factual information on American Bald Eagles  
(including food sources) please follow this link.  While they will scavenge  for 
food if necessary, carrion is not their primary food  source. They are 
birds of prey with fish (either salt water or fresh)  being their favorite meal.
