Pennsylvania authorities are investigating the deaths of three bald eagles found in the same area over a two-month span, according to a local report. Bald eagles are protected by state laws and the federal Bald and Golden Eagle Protection and Migratory Bird Treaty acts, and disturbing them is a crime. Ohio authorities announced last week that the bald eagle population there has soared by 151 percent since the last statewide headcount eight years ago. Wildlife authorities say birdwatchers should observe eagles from at least 100 yards away, as approaching a nest could lead parents to abandon their eggs. The Pennsylvania Game Commission also offers an eagle-watching livestream on its website.
