$10,000 reward offered for information about 13 dead bald eagles on Eastern Shore

The birds showed no signs of trauma, Thomson said, but investigators believe they all died within a relatively short span of time.

One possibility is that the birds died after eating rodents that had been poisoned, Thomson said.

There's a nasty little non-native critter (nutura) over there.  Lots of farms.  TONS of eagles and birds.  There has to be a better way to kill the invasive critters that doesn't involve poison.

13 bald eagles likely killed by ‘human causes,’ did not die naturally, investigators say!!!

Federal investigators said Thursday that the 13 bald eagles found dead on the Eastern Shore last month did not die of natural causes or disease.

Starting to really "dislike" humans!!!

Thank you, Donna. I have been checking for updates on this case daily. It is so rare to see a conviction in this type of crime, but I hope this will be an exception.

Me too.
