Rover the bald eagle Hoodie

A bald eagle that amassed a popular following throughout New York City was tragically killed in a vehicle accident this week, a local birder said. Rover, the majestic eagle who was spotted soaring above the Central Park Reservoir just last month, was scavenging along the Henry Hudson Parkway on Monday when a car supposedly hit him, according to Manhattan Bird Alert. “Rover was the most famous Bald Eagle in the New York City area, the only one known to both birders and non-birders alike by name,” David Barrett, a former competitive birder who runs the Manhattan Bird Alert, told The Post Wednesday. nypost.com
