Pa. Game Commission investigates bald eagle death in Washington County

Game wardens from the commission’s Southwest Region found the eagle along Water Dam Road, near Cherry Valley Dam in Mount Pleasant Township, Washington County.
Their investigation suggested a white SUV was in the area, and wardens want to speak with the vehicle’s driver.
Anyone with information is asked to call the commission at 833-742-9453 or Operation Game Thief at 888-742-8001.
