America’s First Bird

Americas First Bird — the bald eagle — is making headlines across Texas again. The news isn’t good. In fact, it’s pretty darned sad.

That’s the word from Texas Parks and Wildlife Department game warden Randy Stovall. Stovall, along with game warden Sean Reneau, are looking for tips that will hopefully point them to the person or persons responsible for killing a pair of bald eagles in the eastern part of Nacogdoches County.

Stovall said a private landowner discovered the dead eagles in a field near the intersection of CR 283 and Farm to Market Road 95 between Garrison and Martinsville. The exact date when the birds died is unclear, but it is believed to be sometime around October 28.
