What do you think these eagles are doing?
This is from my Shiretoko trip seven years ago. They are on the ice-floe in the sea. I noticed eagles sometimes sticking their beaks into the ice.
I'm not sure if the ice is fresh water or just frozen sea-water..
I'm grateful for your ideas.

I can only think it's food related Russell. Could there be remnnants of food under the snow/ice at that spot?
I've seen them doing this before, I think they are cleaning their beaks.
Perhaps the eagle, the same as kids, also likes sucking the ice.

Great ideas. I think I'd have to agree with everybody. Maybe it's all the above. Thanks Phil, Stu and Enrique.
