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.

Can't somebody train the ospreys and bald eagles to prey on cormorants?

They probably taste like fish, so it shouldn't be too hard!

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.
