A New Zealand man has reportedly been fined for trying to body slam a killer whale.
Brett Johnson, a conservation manager with the Dallas Park and Recreation Department who’s been observing the eagles’ nesting behaviors since early March, said nearly two-thirds of the eagle family’s nest was destroyed and one of the two new eaglets hasn’t been seen since the storm. The eagle parents were seen nesting in the same area around the lake, though, Johnson said.
Johnson and his team, working with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, found one of the eaglets and parts of the nest on private property nearby. “Due to federal laws protecting the nest and its contents that include the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act , park officials were granted permission by Texas Parks and Wildlife to transfer the eaglet to an area wildlife rehabilitation center. The current condition of the bird remains unknown,” city officials said in a statement.
Johnson and his team were unable to access the area near the nest because of downed trees, but say they will continue to monitor the area where the nest was found in hopes of finding the second eaglet.to the nest at Lake Highlands Park in March.
