SITKA — Alaska Raptor Center officials have found six eagles that were dead or dying in the Sitka area over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Avian director Jen Cedarleaf told the Daily Sitka Sentinel that eagles found recently have been thin and in poor condition, noting that food is scarce this time of year.<\/p>\n

One eagle was killed in a car collision, and another later died after being found sick or injured in a park Friday.<\/p>\n

Two eagles died after contact with power lines. Another washed up on a beach.<\/p>\n

Cedarleaf said the sixth eagle was found near the center Sunday and is unlikely to survive.<\/p>\n

The center has picked up 20 eagles, dead and alive, this year. It has 31 in rehabilitation that are planned to be released in the spring.<\/p>\n
