[history]
A dead bald eagle with a bullet wound was found behind a shopping center Monday. Authorities said the male bird, believed to be about 3 years old, was probably shot elsewhere Sunday or Monday, but then left in Pennsville.
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Department Special Agent Dorothy Manera said the eagle was believed to have nested in rural Salem County.

This is horrible.
However, look in its belly. Osama bin Laden said he would martyr himself in the belly of the eagle this year.

Young eagles resemble vultures/buzzards. An inexperienced hunter might not know the difference.

Well, young eagles are black, after all...

Young eagles resemble vultures/buzzards. There are no buzzards indigenous to the United States, only vultures. This is a common misconception.

The Bald Eagle is HUGE - not easy to mistake. Occasionally we have them fly thru here (central Fl.) but the real local beauty is the Red Tail or the Red Shoulder hawks. Beautiful birds.

"Buzzard" has been common slang for 150 years.

Kayak down the Delaware every year, see them all the time. They usually fly high, catching the thermals to glide.
However, two years ago I got within 10 feet of one feeding in a tree. Majestic is the only word that comes to mind.

I get them confused with turkey vultures here on Long Island.

I have to look carefully to make sure its not an osprey.

A friend of mine who is president of an Audubon chapter advised me about the turkey vultures. Ospreys too! They had a pair of either ospreys or peregrine falcons living on the top of Nassau County Medical Center.

If it flies, it dies? Even rookie bird hunters can tell the difference between a crow and an eagle. It can get a little tricky with geese sometimes, but not eagles????

In the south, we refer to turkey vultures as turkey buzzards.
They aren't buteo-butoes, but that's what we call them.
Did you find any thermals, yet?
To: RedBloodedAmerican
What on Earth is gained by hunting vultures? Is it just to kill something? I hunt deer and elk, but have zero respect for an idiot who views the world as his or her private shooting gallery.
That sort of person should not own guns. Period.

A person convicted of killing a bald eagle can be fined up to $250,000 and receive a two-year prison term.After the fine and prison sentence, the individual would have a visit from PETA.
