Did our Anastasia Mosquito Control District of St. Johns County commit federal felonies by spraying bald eagle nests without providing map of locations to its contractor?

Has not returned my telephone message

AMCD apparently never contacted him before spraying organophosphates around bald eagle nests, never providing map of bald eagle nest locations to aerial contractor, potentially violating AMCD policy the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act

On Monday,  November 14, 2016 I reported to the United States Department of the Interior's Fish & Wildlife Service the Anastasia Mosquito Control Commission of St. Johns County for criminal investigation of AMCD spraying organophosphate neurotoxins on bald eagle nests in October 2016.

Interviews are already being conducted of persons knowledgeable of the bald eagles and the District's failure to check with St. Johns County or provide the bald eagle location map to its contractor.

Failing to provide the map to the contractor violated AMCD Board policy.

AMCD Director RUI-DE XUE is the President-elect of the Florida Mosquito Control Commission.

XUE took 29 days to provide requested data -- it confirms that areas sprayed are populated by bald eagles, including areas bordering our St. Johns River.

It is not known whether any bald eagles died, but a "taking" in criminal violation of two federal felony statutes may have occurred by the act of spraying, just as in the October 10, 2001 cutting down of a bald eagle nest tree by PIERRE THOMPSON, grandson of the founder of The St. Augustine Record, who was successfully prosecuted by the United States Attorney for the Middle District of Florida in the case of United States of America v. Thompson Bros. Realty.

Let justice be done.  Now.   May AMCD never spray another bald eagle nest with neurotoxin poisons.
