A flock of eagles descended on the Safeway parking lot last week, prompting police intervention.
Public Safety Director Jamie Sunderland says several people called in short succession on Thursday afternoon to report the melee.

Sunderland says the eagles were feasting on garbage bags of fish product in the bed of a pickup truck.
