CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Federal investigators want help from the public as they try to find out who poisoned a golden eagle and ravens in southwest Wyoming four years ago.

They're offering a reward of up to $2,000 for information leading to a conviction.

The golden eagle and four ravens were found dead southwest of Wamsutter in 2016.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said Tuesday investigators also found poison-laced baits in the remote area of interspersed private and U.S. Bureau of Land Management lands.

Investigators say the case is unrelated to the 2018 poisoning deaths of three dogs, a bald eagle and dozens of other birds in the Dubois area.
