"Someone in Garrett County has shot and killed Maryland's most rare bird, the only known nesting northern goshawk.

Natural Resources Police confirmed the death of the raptor, which is on the state's endangered species list. Without the female to protect and provide for them, the three chicks in the nest died as well."

No way this was an accident. Certain people I know will be outraged, as they have personally worked with these in Maryland in past years.
