Jim and Rolan,



Yes, the eagle should be turned over to the feds. Check with any
wildlife rehab outfit or vet who is licensed to see wildlife in your
area. They'll take care of it for you.

Hi Tweets,

I may be way off here, but isn't that dead eagle supposed to be turned
over to the Feds?

Took a drive through the Elma/Brady Loop area this morning. The weather
was miserable with heavy rain showers and high winds until noon when the
clouds parted and sunny skies appeared for a short time. I found a dead
immature bald eagle in the Brady Loop road about one quarter mile south
of the Willis Rd junction. I had just passed the same spot about twenty
minutes earlier so the incident happened about 11:30am. There were
about 40 Canada geese and an assortment of mallards and pintails on the
east side of Brady Loop just south of Willis on my first pass. On my
return to that area about 20 minutes later I noticed these birds on the
move to the west. I found the eagle about five minutes later in the
middle of the road. The bird had no outward signs of wounds. I can
only guess the bird made a pass at the geese and ended up in the power
lines. I saw no other vehicles and no scattered feather! s which would
indicate a collision with a car. There were 5 or 6 other immature bald
eagles in the fields about one half mile to the west of Willis along
with at least one mature bird. I moved the bird to the side of the road
because I couldn't bring myself to leave it to be trashed by traffic.
Otherwise, not a very productive day but as always enjoyable.
