<DUSTIN EIGHMY DNR 577 9:35-39"ONE OF THE LUNGS WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED FROM THAT BB."> These x-rays reveal the tiny BB that killed a bald eagle earlier this month in Ankeny. <NAT AT THE INTERSECTION> The DNR found it here--near the intersection of Northeast Trilein Drive and East First Street on January 3rd. The fully matured female bald eagle was bleeding internally-- shown here in a picture taken shortly after it was caught. <DUSTIN EIGHMY DNR 5776 8:17-24"ONCE CAPTURED SHE SAW SOME BLOOD COMING OUT OF THE MOUTH OF THE EAGLE AT THAT TIME."> The DNR say the eagle was likely shot either January 2nd or 3rd but aren't sure if it happened on Trilein Drive or if it flew there from where it áwas shot. <NAT OF THE SAYLORVILLE EAGLES> Bald eagles are common in the area. KCCI photojournalist John Houghton took this video several bald eagles just south of the Saylorville Dam on Tuesday-- about 5 miles away from where the injured eagle was found. Officials say these cases are somewhat of a rarity-- the last one in Polk County was in January 2017- - a hiker found a dismembered eagle on the south side of Des Moines. The DNR says state and federal fines for killing a bald eagle can reach upwards of twenty thousand dollars and one year jail time. DNR officials hope it was an accident. <DUSTIN EIGHMY DNR 5776 18:41-46"I CAN'T WORK WITH INTENTIONAL.
