But also proof that Bald Eagles are just tools. But that doesn’t stop me from grumbling about how much they really are honest-to-god tools. **. One had just caught some type of fish from the river. But before it could go down the hatch, a Bald Eagle swooped in and snatched it. Fascinating wildlife viewing? Their thievery is well-noted.

Among Woodpecker Finches, young birds quickly learn to use tools by watching how adult birds do it. Woodpecker Finch using a tool.

Some Sayaca Tanagers were feeding there, but surely they would not have had the tools nor the strength to break through the outer layer. Woodpeckers would certainly have the tools to break through the skin, but would they have the inclination? Not being big fruit-eaters, what would be their reward?

Actual cut marks made by actual stone tools are in fact never unequivocal. If the marks are numerous, located in logical locations, and found in a time-space context where stone tools are otherwise well documented, then fine. There are too many ways to get a cut mark or two. We can only assign probabilities.
