The federal government is offering a $10,000 reward for information on what might have killed 13 bald eagles that were found dead on a farm in Federalsburg, Maryland.
Maryland Natural Resources Police (NRP) were called to the scene after a man found four dead eagles on a farm on Saturday, and a search of the premises tallied up the body count to a symbolic 13, the number of original colonial states in America.
The death of the cause is unknown, but it’s possible that the eagles died from consuming the bodies of animals that had been poisoned, NRP official Candy Thomson told NBC News.
