Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey to be the national bird.

I live on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. They’re everywhere here, a common sight.

How would you know that? That means you've eaten Bald Eagle.

May sister in law lost a worthless, yapping, vicious little Yorkie to an owl. I applauded the owl.

I bought a Westie puppy for my wife a few years back. At the time, we lived on a wooded lot with several horned owls in the area. I was nervous every time I took him out at night. I’m sure he would look like a little light bulb to the owls.

Earlier this year, a ravenous raptor stalked and killed a seagull There's a photo out there of a Bald Eagle killing a Great Blue Heron.

There were so many bald eagles in the trees in Sitka where we were walking that I was way more concerned about them CRAPPING on me than anything else!

domestic dogs kill far more than every other creature combined.

I have a difficult time believing that.

Cats are notorious killers of birds and other wildlife.

Of course, cats love to torture and play with their catch much more than dogs.

That may take some of the time they might devote to more killing...

Yeah. I live near the “National Eagle Center” in Wabasha, Minnesota. Eagles congregate along that stretch of the Mississippi River, especially in the winter because the river doesn’t freeze there.

I’ve seen six eagles perched in the same damned tree, with a couple dozen others in the vicinity.

I haven’t heard anyone complaining about lost pets, and eagles have been in this area in large numbers for decades now.

Never saw an eagle outside a zoo until I moved to Arizona. They’re mostly in the high country here, though you do see them in the desert along the rivers. They’re mostly fishers in my experience.

In our area, we have had a dozen or more eagles flying in formation and attacking ground targets. At least it seems like a coordinate Air Force fleet. I have never seen so many eagles.

My Mom is on the water between Easton and St. Michaels. She has several that frequent the property. Buzzards nest in her corn crib too.

We’ve built a catio (cat enclosure) on our deck where our cats can freely come and go via a door with a tunnel. They love it. They use it during every season, including winter. I no longer worry about coyotes, hawks, owls, or eagles coming to grab them away from me.
