BOSTON, M.A. (WNCT) — A bald eagle known for frequenting the Mystic River in the Boston area was treated by staff at the New England Wildlife Center (NEWC) in Weymouth, Massachusetts; veterinarians suspect that the bird ate a poisoned rodent. The eagle, colloquially known as MK, was found in ill health in Arlington on Monday, February 27, according to NEWC. In a Facebook post, NEWC said that MK remains in critical condition after suspected anticoagulant rodenticide poisoning, which occurs when an animal eats a rodent that has already ingested poison.
