RIVERSIDE EYASSES DIED OF RAT POISON

The toxicology report is in and as suspected the three eyasses in the Riverside nest with lung hemorrhages died from eating poison mostly likely carried by a poisoned rat brought unknowingly to them by a parent. And the poison may have come from bait boxes placed inside the park.

A tragedy that has been much feared by the hawk watchers and that has been just waiting to happen.
