This bald eagle is the 1st in Massachusetts’ wildlife history to die from eating prey poisoned with rodenticide MassLive.com 5 hrs ago Jackson Cote, masslive.com
The first case in Massachusetts’ wildlife history of a bald eagle dying from eating prey poisoned with rodenticide was confirmed by state officials earlier this week.
The adult female eagle died in March after consuming second-generation anticoagulant rodenticide (SGAR) poisoning, which the general public isn’t allowed to buy. Licensed professionals and agricultural users are able to purchase the rodent-killing pesticide, though, the state Division of Fisheries and Wildlife said in a statement.
In mid-March, people observing the bird at a nest on the Charles River in Middlesex County reported she was behaving oddly, according to MassWildlife, which is responsible for conserving freshwater fish and wildlife in Massachusetts, including endangered plants and animals.
