Bald eagle smashes window at Virginia tax office, flies off

NORFOLK, Va. (AP) — A bald eagle has made an unexpected appearance at a Virginia tax preparation office, slamming into a window and then apparently flying off without serious injuries.

The Virginian-Pilot reports the mature bald eagle struck a window Monday at an H&R Block office in Norfolk, leaving a hole nearly three feet (one meter wide) and scattering glass shards over the office floor.

Harry Patterson Jr., who runs a neighboring insurance office, says he was on the phone when he saw what he thought looked like a stuffed animal. Patterson says the office is closed until tax season.

A spokesman for H&R Block acknowledged the incident.

"Taxation is theft" shouted the eagle after showing its utter contempt for the process by smashing the tax preparer's window. It then flew off vowing to never submit again.

Bald eagles are pretty intelligent that way.

Even our national bird doesn't like the idea of taxes. If that doesn't convince people, I don't know what will.
