plucking post

A stump, rock, fencepost, or elevated perch where a raptor habitually brings prey to pluck and eat it. Identified by accumulations of feathers, pellets, and prey remains — often the same spot used repeatedly over weeks or months. The feathers fan outward from the center and the small bones pile up. A plucking post is a raptor's dining table, and it tells you exactly what's on the menu.
