In the U.S. Attorney's Office, District of Idaho two young men were charged on March 24, 2022, for killing a Golden Eagle and 5 red-tailed hawks. They got two years probation and 15 hours of community service for one count of the unlawful taking of a Golden eagle without permission and, for the unlawful taking of a migratory bird of prey without permission. Colten R. Ferdinand, 20, of Boise, and, Wyatt G. Noe, 23, of Eagle were found guilty of killing the birds after a year-long investigation done by the Idaho Fish and Game Department. The birds were found in the Morley Nelson Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation Area. The two men pleaded guilty and both had to forfeit their firearms and ammunition to the courts. Also, Noe was ordered to pay $3,000 and has a 2-year ban on possessing firearms or hunting. Ferdinand got the same but a $3,800 fine. The Golden Eagle is protected under the Bald Eagle Act of 1940 and all other birds of prey are protected under the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act. The image is from Google.
