WILDLIFE
Information soughton killing of bald eagle
The Pennsylvania Game Commission is seeking information about the person or persons responsible for killing an immature bald eagle in Athens Township, Bradford County. State Wildlife Conservation Officer Matthew Grebeck is investigating this incident, and is seeking information about the person or persons responsible.
Bald eagles are a state endangered species and, like all birds of prey, protected by both state and federal law.
A resident in the area found the dead eagle in Athens Township on Aug. 30, and reported it to the Game Commission. A necropsy of the bird determined that the eagle was shot and likely died where it was shot due to the injuries sustained to its wing.
Anyone who knows or hears anything about this illegal shooting, should call the Northeast Region Office toll free at (877) 877-9357. Information received will be held in the strictest confidence.
