 That's when they get hurt. We get a ton of bald eagles that were hit by cars. Oftentimes they're actually scavenging on the side of the road. This center alone admitted a record-breaking 66 bald eagles last year. They're on track to match that number again this year. Besides roadkill, eagles also feed on the remains of carcasses left behind by hunters. That heightens the risk of lead poisoning from fragments of ammunition.
