Photo: 19 Bald Eagles Die in Alaska After Diving in Fish Slime



Bald eagles await transfer to a warm government warehouse after being rescued from the cold on Friday January 11, 2008, in Kodiak, Alaska.

They were among 50 eagles that dove into the back of an uncovered dump truck full of fish guts and became too wet to fly away.
