Every once in a while I see a Hawk or an Owl flying through the air with a snake. Those owls are pretty effective predators. Grabbing kittens and small dogs is child’s play.

i saw an eagle taking off from my backyard with a giant snake dangling in its claws: it looked EXACTLY like the reverse image on Mexican silver coins ...
Once had a fish dropped near me while out walking in a wooded area. Ospreys had a nest nearby, so it was probably one of them.
There were also eagles around but they tended to stay away from the ospreys.
