I just saw the post about the bald eagle in Gaithersburg.? Last night, right before 6:00 pm, when we were driving east on Germantown Rd (Rte 118), near Dawson Farm Road, we got to see a bald eagle hunting at close range.? I saw the enormous wingspan of a big bird overhead, along with the white head and tail.? The eagle dived down and grabbed a squirrel right off the pavement.? It was wonderful and terrifying at the same time, with the traffic whizzing so close by.? The eagle soared back up and headed south over some trees, with the squirrel tail dangling as he went.
