A sky full of Eagles

Art - Collage with layers and Texture

 

Minnesota had an Eagle disaster not too long ago,

At least 13 bald eagles were likely poisoned by scavenging the carcasses of euthanized animals that were improperly dumped at a Minnesota landfill, and three of the majestic birds have died.

 

The University Vet department spent a lot of time trying to save the Eagles that literally fell out of the sky.

Only 3 died, and the rest were released after rehabilitation.

 

"The Minneapolis Star Tribune reports that state and federal wildlife officials are investigating after the eagles were found this month near the Pine Bend Landfill in the Minneapolis suburb of Inver Grove Heights."

A couple of weeks later, the results revealed the culprit: pentobarbital.

 

I can tell you after the bird flu, I feel grateful for the eagles I see.

 

Zoom to appreciate.

 

Thanks to everyone that views and comments on my images - very much appreciated.
