A sick bald eagle that was found at a local park last week has died.
Glen Helen says in a post on social media that blood work from a 23-year-old bald eagle that was being treated at the preserve’s Raptor Center suggests that the bird likely died from ingesting either lead or some other toxin.
Glen Helen officials say the 23-year-old male eagle had no obvious physical injuries when it was found at Englewood Metropark.
The Glen asks people to find non-toxic ways of managing unwanted critters, and consider using non-lead fishing tackle and bullets.
