NBC New York: NJ Turkey Vulture Hit With Arrow Prompts Eagle Concerns

 
Bald eagles are the pride and joy of the United States, but one town in New Jersey says a rowing club is a threat to a bald eagle and its nest. And environmentalists are even more concerned after spotting a turkey vulture in the area with an arrow piercing its wing. Brian Thompson has the story.

A turkey vulture flying over the Hudson River with an arrow piercing its wing has sparked the fears of environmentalists who are closely monitoring the comeback of the American bald eagle in the same skies.

Bird watcher Karl Soehnlein told NBC New York that the injured bird has been flying over a section of the Palisade Interstate Park near the New Jersey/New York state line for the past two and a half weeks, but that he did not know who shot it or why.
