Keep an eye on your cats or puppies (if you have any) or they will take "flying lessons." In Kodiak, where in the winter hundreds and hundreds of bald eagles congregate downtown by the harbor (to feed on fish carcasses out of the canneries' dumpsters), cats and small dogs left free to roam don't live long. In Kodiak there are no stray or feral cats. They all get airborne, and small poodles, yorkies, weenie-dogs, and such canine aberrations cannot be left out in a yard or lawn where an eagle has enough room to glide close to the ground and grab them. Before I left Kodiak I was living in a house on a lakeshore, where eagles were quite common. One almost broke a living room window slamming into it with its talons stretched forward to try to grab my cat that was on the inside windowsill. The cat hid for two days under the bed... My Labrador hates eagles because many a time they stole dead ducks from her as she was about to grab them in the lagoon where I hunted. I lost quite a few ducks to eagles... part of the game. Anyhow, here in Alabama I've only seen one baldie, but my Lab barks infuriated every time she sees a buzzard (we have lots of those here) because she can't tell the difference.
Incidentally, in Kodiak one can always recognize a tourist from the Lower 48 and Hawaii from the rest of the people: he'll be the one taking pictures of bald eagles. Us residents (well, I'm an ex-resident) don't even notice those good-looking scavenger birds any more...
