I vaguely remember reading something about this so perhaps it is commonplace.

Driving this morning, I frightened a White-faced Heron from a carcass beside
the road.  The carcass (the lower half of an Eastern Grey kangaroo), was not
heavily decomposed (no strong smell) and had no visible maggots.  It did have
many flies on it which I assume the Heron was eating.
