A hunter's bullet may kill this bald eagle. But it wasn't shot

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/bald-eagle-lead-poisoning-quebec-1.5407142


More news from the eagle, directly from Dr. Fitzgerald, from the: Endoscopy removed the big lead fragment from his stomach. We don't know yet if the poisoning will be reversible or not... her blood lead level is very high. This can leave him nervous and digestive sequelae... he still started to feed quietly. Time will say more!
