When I Was Growing Up, There Were No Eagles 2

Not where I grew up, at least.

Now they have come back, as my irregular posts of my brother’s eagle pictures indicates–he lives directly across the Bay* from where we grew up.

And someone has been killing them, untentionally, it seems. The current theory is that they were collateral damage in an attempt to get foxes or coyotes (coyotes? there weren’t any of them, either).

Dick Destiny has a nice write up on his best guess as to what was used and on why that is his best guess.

    I saw there were $7,500 worth of reward money put up for information leading to the identity of the individual responsible. It’s possible it is already known if what I think did it was the substance. If this is true, at some point there will be a well-publicized arrest.

    I hadn’t yet seen that.

     

    Someone is in for a heap of hurt.
