Dead Bald Eagle at Sweet Marsh - Avian Influenza?
Recently I have been sharing still images and videos of dead and dying waterfowl - Canada geese, ducks, and trumpeter swans - at Sweet Marsh near Tripoli, Iowa. A concern has been will we see raptors and other wildlife that has been feeding on the waterfowl also succumbing?
Today this dead adult bald eagle at Sweet Marsh was documented. Did the eagle die from avian influenza, lead poisoning, age, or something else. We will not know.
It is a sad day when you find a dead bald eagle.
Reminder - If you see dead or dying birds or birds behaving abnormally, do not touch them.
I put a video together at this link:
