This is great news. It is really about the pesticides more than anything else. In my area, hawks are EVERYWHERE . I see at least 1 every 5 miles along the highway (farmland) watching for food. This was not true 20 years ago.

Not if you're a rabbit.
Or small dog. I was at a campground in Alaska that had plenty of signs posted re: keeping your pets indoors. Well, someone chose to let their little poodle out of their RV and an eagle took a chance to have a snack. The aftermath looked like someone hit a feather pillow with a shotgun.

You've been watching too many movies then! https://youtu.be/PQ2uMauyBow?t=35 I was doing some trail building this last fall and there was a red tailed hawk nest across the valley. It was pretty amazing to hear that classic "eagle" call every now and again while working.
I'm fairly certain that GP was making a joke.

How small a dog are we talking about? pug/chiuaua-sized? Not sure I understood what actually happened. Did the bird take the dog and leave some feathers behind? Did the dog shred the bird? Did the dog's owner shoot the bird with a shotgun?
