Authorities are trying to find whoever is responsible for the deadly shooting of a “mature” bald eagle in Arkansas last month, officials said Friday. The dead bird was discovered on March 28 in Drew County, and the body was brought to the Little Rock Zoo, the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission said in a news release. “The female eagle’s body was found near a nest, and it is believed that the bird was tending the nest at the time of death,” the news release said. The bald eagle is the only eagle unique to North America, according to various wildlife websites.
