A Pennsylvania poacher who allegedly killed a Pittsburgh suburb’s beloved bald eagle later turned themselves in — but locals are fuming at the lack of information on the suspect from authorities.

“The killing of our beloved eagle had a major impact on the entire community,” Cherry Valley Lakeview Estates resident Linda Carnevali told The Post Saturday.

“We cannot fathom why anyone would want to harm our eagles and take it to the extreme of killing one.”

The eagle, who Carnevali and her husband Raymond called “Sam” after the popular character “Sam the Eagle” in Disney’s Muppet Vision 3D, was allegedly shot to death in May near the Cherry Valley Dam, nearly 30 miles southwest of Pittsburgh.

“In the show, he was in charge of honoring our country in a Fourth of July presentation,” Carnevali said. “We felt like our Sam represented that same freedom.”

The eagle was one of two that had been in the area for nearly two decades.

They were almost always together, except when they were nesting or protecting their newly hatched eaglets, and one would always remain with the nest, Carnevali said.

They recently hatched two eaglets before Sam was slain.

Police in Mount Pleasant Township released a surveillance image showing a white SUV near where neighbors found the dead bird. Within days of the poaching, the Pennsylvania Game Commission said that tips had led investigators to the suspect, who “admitted to all aspects of the crime,” according to Fox News.

The suspect’s name has yet to be publicly released, and residents say they don’t even know if the killer has been charged.

“We have all been calling the US Attorney’s Office in Pittsburgh each week, and all they will say is that it is under investigation — even though the person responsible has confessed to the crime,” Carnevali said.

“This has triggered many emotions for several of us as we felt like they were part of our lives for all these years. We have taken it very personal and feel that the mission to bring this to justice is deserved and necessary.”

Carnevali said that eagles had roamed Cherry Valley Dam since the 1930s because it’s a “perfect fishing hole for them” and that residents have made a sport of watching their every move from afar.

“All of the neighbors have binoculars to look out their kitchen windows and watch the amazing flight of these birds,” she said. “We were never disappointed with the show, including in the winter when they would land on the frozen lake and break through the ice to grab their dinner. They never missed their catch unlike many of our fishermen.”

“You couldn’t help but stop and stare,” she added. “It never got old for any of us.”

A spokesperson for the Game Commission did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Bald eagle populations are recovering nationwide — decades after being placed on the endangered species list.
