I can see my pond out of my office window and I keep seeing a couple of hawks dive bombing my pond and coming up with my bluegill and flying off - any remedy or it just "is what it is" -
I had an Osprey visit my pond last year for about a month. I could be on the pier and it would grab a fish out of the pond not 50 feet from me. I don't mind feeding it or it's family. Had a mature Bald Eagle here too, sitting in a tree over the road eating a fish. All the neighbors came by to take it's picture.
Now Great Blue Herons on the other hand? I have no tolerance for them.
I don’t mind any bird eating fish except cormorants….they cheat by diving…..
I'm pretty much the same. I've thought about getting a drone to aggravate fish eating birds, but I can't figure out how to get one to play the Ride of the Valkyries while it's doing so.
