Bald Eagles at the store

So Walter and I were walking to the store yesterday. We saw a "baldy" in the tree behind the store. We walked over to it. It was hanging out behind the store near the dumpsters. We walked right up to it. Then an employee of the store came out with some trash. He asked, "How close do you want him to get?" We didn't know what to say. Then some chicken accidentally didn't make it into the dumpster. The seagulls got all excited. Baldy then started swooping. It was amazing. I kept pushing Walter back because it looked like the eagle was going to get us. We remarked that the seagulls were going to get the chicken first. The guy said no, that the eagle will get it. He was right. All of a sudden, the eagle swooped down and picked up the chicken. Stupid Walter and me. We thought the eagles would land and start pecking at the chicken. We were in 10 feet of the swoop. We could hear his talons scrapping the ground. Then another baldy showed up and started swooping, but there was no more chicken. Talk about awesome! The guy said that in the winter after the fish are "gone," he will have 7-8 eagles out there everyday waiting for things to not make it to the trash can. We have to go back to the store today. Maybe we will see this again!
