Seven bald eagles and a great horned owl were found dead from suspected poisoning.
Seven bald eagles and a great horned owl have been found dead along the eastern shore of Maryland in recent months, and officials say the deaths might be linked to the intentional poisoning of"nuisance" animals like foxes and raccoons.
Bald Eagles are no longer listed under the Endangered Species Act but are still protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, according to the statement. Violations of the act could carry fines and the possibility of up to two years in prison. Officials said they believe the incidents “are related as a result of unknown persons placing baits laced with carbofuran, one of the most toxic carbamate pesticides, in fields, along woods lines and even directly into fox dens.” Whoever set the baits “did it so recklessly" that the poison was likely left out in the open, where any animal or person might have come across it, the statement said.
The discovery of the carcasses recalled the poisoning death of 13 eagles in Federalsburg, Maryland in 2016, which officials said had happened “under similar circumstances.”
