    Officials say bird flu caused the death of a bald eagle named Jackie who had become an internet sensation and a symbol of the species’ recovery in California. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife said in a news release Wednesday that a necropsy and additional testing found that the primary underlying cause of Jackie’s death in August was highly pathogenic avian influenza. In the weeks leading up to her death, she was being treated at the Ojai Raptor Center for a variety of ailments, including anemia. Chris Eksteen, the center’s director, said in the news release that the necropsy results “have helped connect many of the findings” they saw throughout her hospitalization.

    Christa Gail Pike Survives Two Lethal Injection Attempts on Tennessee Death Row.

    President Donald Trump is holding a campaign rally in the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. Thursday's visit puts Trump in the company of just a handful of U.S. presidents who have visited Native American tribes while in office. Tribal delegations have been meeting with presidents in Washington since the Early Republic. But presidential visits to tribal lands have been few and far between. The purpose and tone of those visits have changed dramatically as the relationship between the U.S. and tribal nations evolved. Early visits promoted the assimilation of Natives into white society, while more recent visits promoted the tribes' inherent right to govern themselves. Authorities say rapper Rick Ross was arrested early Thursday in Miami Beach and charged with battery related to a domestic violence accusation. Online court records show Ross, whose legal name is William Roberts II, faces a felony charge of battery by strangulation, as well as a misdemeanor battery charge. An attorney for Ross said in a statement that Ross is being wrongfully accused by an ex-girlfriend whose true motivations are unclear. The attorney said the 50-year-old rapper has pleaded not guilty. Jail records showed that Ross was being held Thursday morning on $5,000 bail. An arraignment is scheduled for Oct. 22.
