Bald Eagle

The Missouri Department of Conservation is asking for help to find out how a Bald Eagle was shot south of Salem. A Friday post from MDC on X states:

“Sad news - a bald eagle was found shot and killed Jan. 18 south of Salem. The eagle was found in a pasture on the south side of Route K, just west of Route Z and Dent Co. Rd 6180 at around 11 a.m. A neighbor said he heard a gunshot earlier that morning.”
