[Tweeters] Thanks, WOS

We also came upon a dead full grown Bald Eagle on the National Audubon CBC
last Wednesday.  It was on Legue Island (Eide Road).  With fully white
crown and tail, it was sad to see and it had a duck in it's talons.  PUD
had been alerted by WDFW and they drove up when we were examining it.  They
told us it was likely electrocuted.  It was lying just below the high power
electrical lines that run next to the bridge.
