A bald eagle collided with a powerline and caused a power outage for 140 Alaska Power and Telephone customers in Haines on Aug. 19.
According to American Bald Eagle Foundation volunteer coordinator Chloe Goodson, the foundation received a call that an adult bald eagle ran into a power line near 1.5 Mile Haines Highway. The eagle was electrocuted and found dead, still clutching a fish in its talons on the side of the highway.
