Decorah Eagles are back!

According to wikipedia and some other source, a bald eagle weighs from about three to six pounds, and typically a bald eagle lives for about 20-years in the wild.

Supposedly, once upon a time somewhere in a New York zoo or home for birdies or someplace, a bald eagle lived to the ripe old eagle age of fifty years.

Is it really true that shooting an eagle is a federal felony with prison time........like, so, "what are you in for......oh, I was totally bored out of my mind so I picked up this 22-rifle and shot an eagle for no particular reason......duh?"
