I'm not a terribly knowledgeable birder but I believe that apart from  
vultures,
very few birds have any olfactory sense at all. Everything I've ever  
read about eagles
and soaring raptors informs me that their eyes are, compared to ours,  
miraculous in
their ability to locate prey from enormous distances. Think "Zeiss".

I relate this to personal experience; a dead red squirrel, left out for
days in high temperatures on a platform on which I leave carrion for  
crows and gulls,
does not deter my avian guests in the least when the finally locate it.

More knowdedgeable birders may wish to set me straight.

Mike
