From 1960 to 1974, 307 bald eagles found dead at various locations in the United States were submitted to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Patuxent Wildlife Research Center (PWRC), Laurel, Maryland, for necropsy and subsequent chemical analysis for organochlorine pesticide residues. This note reports the isolation of Streptococcus zooepidemicus from the intestine of one of these eagles and is the first record of isolation of this organism from the American bald eagle.
