Thirteen Bald Eagles Found Mysteriously Dead
Thirteen bald eagles were found dead in Maryland this weekend in what officials are calling off the largest single die-off of bald eagles in 30 years. The mysterious deaths were spotted near a farm on Maryland’s Eastern Shore by a man at 2:30pm on Saturday who was out looking for deer antlers. Washingtonpost.com reports: It was not immediately clear what had caused the birds to die, but there were “no obvious signs of trauma with these birds,” according to Candy Thomson, a natural resources police spokeswoman. “A working theory is poisoning,” Thomson said Monday night.
