She got fined for intentionally keeping the feathers. Not for unintentionally killing it. They're not handing out fines just because of accidents.

As I understood it, the American Bald Eagle WAS on the endangered list but at some point was just moved to Protected or whatever. In any case, we're seeing them around here the last couple of years. I mean, I had never seen one in my life until about 2 years ago. It's kinda breathtaking to be honest. I'm sure as they become more common, it'll be less impressive, but if I see one, I stop and watch.
My wife was watering the flowers by the side of the house, and heard the scraping of talons on the gutters above. She looked up and out of the corner of her eye saw this thing swooping above her head and then it took off down the street. It was a bald eagle, must have either been perched on the roof or was swooping down and hit the gutter. Freaky... They are BIG for sure, as the OP pic illustrates. So, what did they do with it? Like, carefully peel it off and stick it in a box for tagging and disposal? |

Go to Alaska. Bald eagles are like wrens or crows. |

It's funny. Here in the Omaha area there are a few nests, one is about 2 miles south of my house, and that's where this one is probably from. People also talk of a nest in a recreational area nearby too. We're all pretty excited about them still.
