A female Golden Eagle died despite intensive treatment after being struck by a vehicle. Necropsy revealed poor body condition, with no fat stores. The proventriculus and ventriculus contained a pellet of fur and bone fragments, at the center of which was the leg of a Red-Tailed Hawk. A talon on the leg had punctured the ventriculus, resulting in fatal pleuritis and peritonitis.
