The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) is on the lookout for the person or persons who killed two eagles in Southeastern Washington recently.
In the first week of December, two eagles were found with gunshot wounds on two separate occasions in Columbia County. A bald eagle found near Payne Hollow was so badly wounded that it could not be saved by animal rehabilitators. The next day, a golden eagle was found dead in the Snake River, near Little Goose Dam.
“Both wounds were consistent with a gunshot, one with a shotgun and one with a rifle,” said WDFW Police Officer Chase Copenhaver.
