I suggest this young eagle is in agony. The humane thing, [ as per SPCA], would be to put it down out of mercy and bury it to prevent the spread of disease to other birds and creatures who would feed on it. If you see this and ignore it then it will soon drop and the disease will spread. I am not a professional naturalist, have no authority to kill Eagles and do not own a rifle. Thus I only post this to inform those with the authority to do whatever the experts deem wise. I first noticed this growth on three different crows at Lafarge on the Dyke Road, Courtenay Comox BC, near the bird lookout. So far I have informed the Comox Band and the Comox city hall as they know who the local 'experts, are. I hope this can be stemmed before it spreads. Anyone who has advice about this is welcome to comment. TG

This is terrible and action should be swift, why not send the photo to as many newspapers as you can and shame the authorities in to action.

THANK YOU FOR THAT INSIGHT alf. oOOPS TYPING IN THE DARK AGAIN.
I have a return email from the bird banding officials in Vancouver. They passed the info on to the proper university team and asked for photos of the crow as well.
The Afflicted crow photo was forwarded as requested and both sad images are on my blog.

I realize ePhotoZine is not a 'birder's' web site, yet I don't think they mind if awareness is spread if it helps stem disease and limits its spread for everyone's benefit. I endevour to keep this fairly minimal.
I will pass on the news from Alf85 that Avian Pox virus is hitting the tit family and spreading in England. Our locals may not be aware of that.
Not sure where to keep you informed of this without leaning on ePhotoZine. My photo bog I guess. I will post updates there and mention a more official site where the topic is covered when and if I learn more. TG
My god T.G. I've been so busy I've only just seen this. well done for showing it. I can only hope it can help, i,m speechless. all the best, Steve b'
