Great thread and it's that time of year when they all come out.
We have the same problem with hawks since we live near the Metroparks and valley. Funny Izzy can hear them sometimes in the distance and she does get nervous and wants to come in the house. I also bring her in when I hear them circling the area.
Thanks for the warning about the eagles - never knew that but knew about the owls..need to watch out for them, too.
