On April 9, 2015, two bald eagles, four coyotes, one opossum and three black vultures were found dead in a field in Plaquemine, Louisiana. A pile of bait (meat and bones) with black granule spread across the top of it was also found in the field near the dead wildlife. All of the animals and bait were taken from the field. The two eagles were found very close to each other in the field, and investigators believe poison may have been placed to target coyotes.
