SNOHOMISH COUNTY, Wash. —
The State Department of Fish and Wildlife is asking for the public’s help in finding who killed at least three bald eagles in Snohomish County.
Officials said four eagles were found floating in a small lake near Granite Falls last week. Investigators confirmed that three of them had been shot with a small-caliber rifle. It’s unclear how the fourth bald eagle died. The species is protected under both state and federal law. A nearly $4,000 reward is being offered for information about the person responsible for killing the eagles.
The department sent KIRO 7 Eyewitness News pictures of the slaughtered birds. Warning; graphic images.
