Men charged with killing 3,600 birds, including bald and golden eagles, to sell on black market

Two men killed about 3,600 birds, including bald and golden eagles, during a "killing spree" on Montana’s Flathead Indian Reservation and elsewhere, then sold eagle parts on a black market that has been a long-running problem for U.S. wildlife officials, a federal grand jury indictment says.
The men worked with others to hunt and kill the birds, according to the indictment, and in at least one instance used a dead deer to lure in an eagle that was shot.
