Only in Alaska. Police had to be called to a Safeway parking lot last week when a flock of eagles descended and feasted on garbage bags of fish product stashed in the bed of a pickup truck.

"One of our officers went over there and there were 40 eagles sitting on, in, and around several vehicles in the area," said Public Safety Director Jamie Sunderland.

An oil pipeline rupture that has spewed over 12,000 gallons of crude oil into a small Arkansas town is starting to affect local wildlife, according to this story on Fox News:
The environmental impacts of an oil spill in central Arkansas began to come into focus Monday as officials said a couple of dead ducks and 10 live oily birds were found after an ExxonMobil pipeline ruptured last week.

"I'm an animal lover, a wildlife lover, as probably most of the people here are," Faulkner County Judge Allen Dodson told reporters. "We don't like to see that. No one does." Officials are urging people in Mayflower, a small city about 20 miles northwest of Little Rock, not to touch any injured or oiled animals as crews clean up Friday's spill. About 12,000 barrels of oil and water have been recovered since ExxonMobil's Pegasus pipeline sprung a leak, spewing oil onto lawns and roadways and nearly fouling a nearby lake.

If you could bring back one extinct game species, be it a bird or mammal, what would it be? With the dizzying pace of biotechnical advancements, that question is quickly becoming less and less academic. In fact, some researchers are actively working to "de-extinct" a number of lost species, including perhaps the most famously tragic extinction story of our time—the passenger pigeon. But even if it's possible, is it a good idea?

From this story on scientificamerican.com:
"...Such questions are set to be addressed March 15 at TEDx DeExtinction, a day-long event in Washington, D.C., organized by Stewart Brand’s Revive & Restore project. Brand previewed the topics for discussion last week at the TED2013 conference in Long Beach, Calif. Scientists are actively working on methods and procedures for bringing extinct species back to life, says Ryan Phelan, executive director of Revive & Restore and co-organizer of the TEDx event.
