KOMOnews.com caught video of the six bald eagles as they were released yesterday off Harkins Road in Winlock, birds that last week were near death after feeding off euthanized horses in the same area.

One was an adult male, the others youngsters.

West Sound Wildlife Shelter on Bainbridge Island cared for the eagles who were found stumbling and crashing around a pasture by neighbors last weekend.

    I sure hope someone got around to properly disposing of the poisoned horses before these birds were released!
