On Monday this trespasser was squirrel hunting right in my front yard and today this same trespasser was fishing in my pond. Today as I pulled up to the pond this trespasser fled or should I say FLEW away. On Monday as I sat down to watch my afternoon fix of the JUDGE JUDY show I just happen to see this full plumage BALD EAGLE trying to catch a Piney squirrel from the top of a big tree in my front yard. That was one lucky squirrel because he got away, the EAGLE flew off and I got left with a bunch of broken branches laying on the driveway. Today on my way to town I drove by my pond just in time to see this BALD EAGLE diving down at something on the pond it then flew up to the top of a large Cottonwood and perched there while the local crows started diving and harassing it. When I got home from town I took the dog for a run down to the pond and spooked that EAGLE off. My guess is he might have been duck hunting because there were several feathers floating in the pond.

Eagle has to eat too.... My dad had an issue with a small group of river otters in his acre pond a summer or two ago. He thought they was "cute"....until they put a hurting on his channel cats!
I hope you got a good sized dog.....otherwise.....you may want to keep it inside for a while!

I had one nearly give me a heart attack in deer season, dove into the creek right next to me. I rarely go more than a few days without seeing one, somewhere. We have one that cruises through the yard but doesn't harass my fat cat. They really are everywhere, now.

They have a nest at Potato Creek, and so do Ospreys. I have had the Osprey here at the pond and I'll just watch him or her, I'll donate a fish or 2 per day I know where to get more. LOL

Last weekend I was looking out the kitchen window, and a bald eagle with a squirrel in his talons flew directly over the window, barely clearing the roof.
