New Yorker shoots bald eagle drawn to coyote bait

摘要

State environmental conservation officials have charged an upstate New York man with fatally shooting a bald eagle drawn to dead deer placed as bait for killing coyotes. The Department of Environmental Conservation says an enforcement officer responded Saturday to a report of gunfire in a field in the rural Tompkins County town of Caroline, 50 miles southwest of Syracuse. He found a dead adult eagle near deer carcasses.
