Killing me softly…
Ugh! If there was any time for me to have a camera, it would’ve been today! My mother and I were running errands downtown when we saw dozens and dozens of eagles circling in the sky above post office was, so we went to investigate.
There was a guy feeding the eagles down there, tossing chunks of chicken into the middle of the empty parking lot by the Seagate. There were already a lot of people standing there watching, but I pulled up in a pretty good spot and my Mom and I sat and watched.
There was this really big eagle and a smaller one that came down first. The big one hopped on the chicken and started eating, forcing the smaller one to sit back and watch. There were some cocky crows and pigeons lurking around, too.
The guy tossed some more chicken out, and some of the circling eagles swooped down and grabbed the pieces with their claws before taking off again. A few larger, older eagles dive bombed the one on the bit of chicken, scaring him off before stealing the chicken and flying off.
I know that if I’d had my camera already I would have some really good pictures to show you! But it’s still, unfortunately, nine or so days away.
Waiting is KILLING me!
