GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – The cause of death of an eagle found in a Kaukauna park back in February has been determined.
A veterinarian working with Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary in Green Bay.
The results showed very high levels of lead poisoning caused the eagle’s death.
Mike Reed, Wildlife Sanctuary Director, issued a statement.
“The levels of lead that were found in this eagle were many times higher than the normal amount that an eagle can live with”
Reed also says since they don’t know the eagle’s history, they can’t figure out how the eagle ended up with the high levels of lead.
