A bald eagle struck and killed by a vehicle Friday in Wisconsin should serve as a reminder to motorists everywhere to exercise caution.
“We would like to remind you that eagles are commonly feeding alongside the highways this time of year,” the Vilas County Sheriff’s Office stated Friday via social media. “We ask that you please use caution and remember that eagles need extra time and space to gain flight.”
The adult bald eagle carcass was discovered next to a highway in St. Germain and turned over to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. (Image posted below.)
