Five bald eagles found dead over a two-week span in Michigan<\/a>\u2019s Upper Peninsula are now at the center of a wildlife investigation, with officials ruling out natural causes and raising concerns of illegal killing.<\/p>\n

The eagles were discovered between April 3 and April 17 in Delta County near Big Bay de Noc and Lake Michigan, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources said in a news release.<\/p>\n

The birds<\/a> of prey were not killed by natural factors, predators or vehicle strikes, according to officials, leaving investigators to believe the birds were killed under suspicious circumstances.<\/p>\n

“The DNR is requesting tips from the public to help solve this ongoing investigation,” said 1st Lt. Mark Zitnik, a DNR Law Enforcement supervisor. “We can confirm that the eagles did not die from natural causes, predators or vehicle collisions.”<\/p>\n

Bald eagles are protected<\/a> under both state and federal law, making it illegal to hunt or harm them.<\/p>\n

Violators can face criminal charges<\/a>, including a misdemeanor punishable by up to 90 days in jail, fines ranging from $100 to $1,000 per eagle and restitution of $1,500 per bird.<\/p>\n

The DNR is urging anyone with information to contact the Report All Poaching hotline at 800-292-7800. Tipsters can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a cash reward if their information leads to an arrest and prosecution.<\/p>\n

Bald eagles have made a strong recovery in Michigan,\u00a0growing from the edge of extinction with just 52 breeding pairs in the 1960s to about 900 pairs by 2023, Bridge Michigan<\/a> reported. The birds are now found across the state, particularly near large lakes and rivers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
