Mary Lu, I love when they set up cameras like this. The Norfolk Botanical Garden has nesting eagles and we got to check them out on the live cam while we were there a year ago. It was so amazing to watch them. This is so timely as I happened to see a bald eagle perched so stately in a tree on my way home from work today.

Here's the article Bald eagle killed with shotgun in Clearfield County Friday, May 27, 2005 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette The Pennsylvania Game Commission announced today it is investigating the killing of an immature bald eagle found in Clearfield County. A "concerned citizen" reported finding the eagle on May 15 near the Penn/Pike township line north of the Curwensville Dam. A necropsy determined that the eagle was killed with a shotgun between May 10 and 14 and died where it was shot. Based on initial investigation, the eagle was probably perched in a tree at the time of the incident. An immature eagle, which lacks the characteristic white head feathers, is defined as being less than 4 years old. The game commission asks anyone with information to call 570-398-4744. Pennsylvania Wildlife Habitat Unlimited has offered a reward of $500. Nationally, bald eagles were first protected by the Bald Eagle Protection Act of 1940. In 1967, the bald eagle was declared an endangered species by the U.S. government because its population had been decimated by the widespread use of the pesticide DDT. In 1995, after a decade of re-introduction projects, eagle populations rebounded and the species was moved to the federal threatened species list. Today, more than 6,000 nesting pairs live in the continental United States, the game commission said. While the state's bald eagle population has increased by more than 150 percent over the past five years, bald eagles remain on Pennsylvania's endangered species list.
