We still need to be very careful that we do not harm any bald eagles.  If you happen to find a bald eagle that is hurt or dead you need to call The Game Commission of your state and report it.  An example about how we need to look out for our bald eagles and still be very careful that we do not harm them is in a newspaper article that someone gave to me that is about two men that were practicing for a fishing tournament at Lake Ouachita.  They saw a lump of feathers and went over to see what it was and it was a dead adult bald eagle.  They called The Arkansas Game Commission on their cell phone and reported what they had found.  Then, a wildlife officer came out and picked up the bald eagle and told them that this eagle was in the same cove where they had found another dead bald eagle the week before. The wildlife officer took it to National Wildlife Health Center which is in Madison, Wisconsin for an examination.  This is the eleventh eagle that has been found dead at Lake Quachita this winter.  One Eagle was found to have died from a gunshot and the case is being investigated by enforcement officers.  Two eagles died of AVM, avian vacular myclinopathy.  AVM has killed more than 60 Arkansas eagles since Thanksgiving Day in 1994.  So, like I said before, if you find a bald eagle that is hurt or dead you need to do something about it!
