Did they find secondary lead poisoning of eagles that you know of?

I dove hunted in Argentina last year. There were "Shield" eagles hanging around us and preying on the dead and wounded dove, often grasping them in the air. I would think that an autopsy on a score of those eagles would be the definitive answer to the possibility of secondary poisoning.

I am glad to be here.
