Earlier this year, seven bald eagles were fatally poisoned in Maryland. Officials believe their deaths were collateral damage from an attempt to poison so-called "nuisance animals" like raccoons and foxes. Three years ago, in 2016, 13 bald eagles were found dead at a Maryland farm.
The iconic American bird was on the federal endangered species list for several decades but was removed in 2007 as its numbers increased. However, the 1940 Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act makes it a federal crime to kill a bald eagle.
