The fatal squirrel?

Our city council has been considering some restrictions around the local eagles nest which I commented on in a letter to the editor.  The letter basically summarized some of the posts in this blog.  I did mention a photo of the eagle carrying a bedraggled squirrel which may have been poisoned.  This is the picture.  The day after this was taken, all three eagles became very sick.  The baby did not survive.

Retired, living in SW Florida and spending my time at nature photography in my local area. I volunteer with a couple of local organizations to help my adopted home town. Travelling is now by airplane and car instead of a sailboat but happy anyway.
