Rover the Bald Eagle, a Central Park celebrity, died on Monday after being struck by a vehicle on the West Side Highway while scavenging for a small animal, according to Manhattan Bird Alert, a popular Manhattan birding social media account.

Rover was named after his R7 identification tag, which was placed on him shortly after his hatching in May of 2018 in Connecticut. He shot to fame in January 2022 when he hunted in Brooklyn and Manhattan, including over the Central Park Reservoir.
