The Audubon Society of Western Pennsylvania this week offered a $500 reward and the Humane Society of the U.S. and The Wildlife Land Trust have pledged a $2,500 reward for information leading to the arrest of the person responsible for killing a bald eagle in Butler County.

Game Commission officers found the injured eagle on November 19 in a field along Route 8 in Center Township. The bird died of its wounds a few days later at the Crawford County wildlife rehabilitation center.

Anyone with information should contact the Northwest Office of the Game Commission at 814-432-3188 or the Audubon Society at 412-963-6100 or by email.
