Re: Tragic...Bald Eagles
"someone may have sprayed a new chemical on a field that adversely affected the birds. Or someone may have used poison to kill rodents; if the rodents died outdoors and the eagles consumed their carcasses, the birds could get sick too."
Probably the answer right there. Bee colonies were dying in large numbers and we are learning that new chemicals used in agriculture may be the cause. Some farmer probably put D-Con in a chicken coop to kill rats and the eagles ate the dead rats.
