Robert talks to Agent Lucinda Schroeder of the U-S Fish and Wildlife Service in Albequerque, New Mexico about yesterday's sting operation that led to the arrest of eight eagle poachers. Eagles are a protected species; the killing and sale of eagle parts is illegal. This operation was unusual in that it led to actual trappers, not just traders. There's a growing market for eagle feathers, both in the U.S. and abroad.
