Eagles have made a remarkable recovery in central and eastern Virginia over the past 25 years. I saw one yesterday afternoon when I was driving across the I-95 bridge over the James River in downtown Richmond.

I see them grabbing fish out of the river in front of my cabin on the lower James all the time. I also see them feeding on various roadkill. Wounded game would be only a very minor part of their diet. At any rate, their numbers are increasing here.
