While I was driving south this morning on Route 29 near the Fontaine
exit to Charlottesvile
I saw an adult Bald eagle swoop down over the tree tops and pick up
road- kill . probably a squirrel .
that was less than three feet from the edge of the road bed on my side
. As I approached at ca. 55 mph. the
eagle swerved upward, dropping the road- kill , and climbed over the
trees on the other side of the road .
It's all-white head and tail were quite evident .
