A $2,000 reward is being offered for information into the killing of a bald eagle in western Indiana.
The juvenile eagle was discovered in a tree in southern Vigo County on March 10 by people who regularly go to that area to view eagles, Indiana conservation officers said. Officers determined the raptor died from a gunshot to the breast area.
A joint $2,000 reward is being offered by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and Indiana Turn-in-a-Poacher Inc. to anyone with information leading to a conviction of the responsible party.
