Bird watchers are sad after Wisconsin Humane Society had to euthanize an eagle who fell sick with bird flu.
"Based on the symptoms we saw, we were quite suspect of this bird upon admission. Are we disheartened and sad and heartbroken? Absolutely," said Crystal Sharlow-Schaefer, director at the Wisconsin Humane Society"This was a really awesome situation ... To have these birds nesting in Milwaukee and we are just devastated that they've been affected by this disease," Sharlow-Schaefer added.
Some Bay View residents shaken by the eagle's death are also now concerned about the health and safety of the many other wild birds along the lakeshore. "If we're talking about a mass bird die-off, that would be tragic," said Peter Czarkowski, who lives nearby. For the people who live in the neighborhood, there is now another concern that has them watching the skies."We were worried -- could the male have it too? And would he be down," Grimes said."We don't know what happened to the male, but we haven't seen him for a good week."
The humane society said the male has not been admitted there and they hope it has been spared from the virus.
