If you're a fish danger can come from any direction.

Those claws are almost as long as a man's finger and needle sharp.

No offense, Swampy—I like hawks, but I love my chickens! I’d have to admit that I’d spook him if he got too close. Got a huge hawk keeping an eye on my chicks right now. So far, they’ve been smart enough to stay up under the thick woods where he can’t fly so easily.

He’s in good company—we’ve also got a bald eagle, tons of ospreys, the huge owls,(barn owls?) foxes, coyotes, bear, alligators...

Sucks to be a chicken around here!

Ospreys are fish eaters.

Some years back we had an osprey that must have been passing through Kansas City. The osprey really enjoyed the koi and crass carp that we had in our cement pond, I mean fire protection resevoir, at work.

I saw it dive on the pond several time but it always broke off at the last minute, a couple of my co-workers saw it take off with a fish a couple of times though.
