The eagle cares not for water, but drinks the blood of her prey; and so her young ones after her, as naturalists report f1438. And Aelianus says f1439 the same of the hawk, that it eats no seeds, but devours flesh and drinks blood, and nourishes her young ones with the same.

It is supposed to mean, to sup up greedily; referring to the fact that the young ones of the eagle devour blood voraciously. They are too feeble to devour the flesh, and hence, they are fed on the blood of the victim. The strength of the eagle consists in the beak, talons, and wings; and such is their power, that they are able to convey animals of considerable size, alive, to their places of abode. They often bear away in this manner, lambs, kids, and the young of the gazelle. Three instances, at least, are known, where they have carried off children. In the year 1737, in Norway,…”

“39:30 Where there’s a carcass, there you’ll find it—feeding on the remains (Ezek 39:17-19; Matt 24:28; Luke 17:37).”
