From the folks at Franklin Mountain Hawk Watch near Oneonta, NY. This
in an email from Tom Salo:
"Some of you may have heard a Golden Eagle we had been tracking was
found dead in a trap (snare) in Quebec. There is significant eagle
mortality associated with canid trapping in Quebec. Quebec authorities
have determined that half (51%) of the known Bald and Golden Eagle
mortality in the province is from trapping. The GPS tracking device on
this bird was deployed during winter 2014. While its device had stopped
working, it had been in the area near where it was live-trapped by Scott
VanArsdale for the past 3 winters. We are hoping to retrieve more data
from the device once it arrives in the US."
