I thought maybe the eagle should be turned over to one of the tribes so they
can have the feathers.

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.
