‘A national treasure’: Wind project facing huge fine for slicing and dicing bald eagle

A wind project run by the University of Minnesota is facing a penalty of about $14,000 for allowing one of its massive blades to slice and dice a bald eagle, leaving what was described as a “national treasure” in body pieces on the ground.

It is the Eolos Wind Energy Research Field in Dakota County, Minnesota.

And the case developed only days after a bald eagle landed on a highway sign structure, appearing to monitor traffic in Minnesota.
