On Tuesday (May 8) on my way home from work, I saw a BALD EAGLE near the 
intersection of Woodland Road and Tulip Drive, just 2 blocks from E. 
Deer Park Dr near Old Town Gaithersburg.  It was in the road standing 
over a dead squirrel (or something about that size) when I arrived at 
the stop sign.  I just sat there and we stared at each other for a 
couple minutes before it grabbed the dead animal and flew off up Tulip 
Dr. toward Duvall Park. I was amazed to see an eagle in such a 
residential neighborhood so far from water. I've seen bald eagles at 
Black Hills Regional Park, but I've not seen them in Gaithersburg before 
this.
