Looking at these predators, it does not take much imagination to see that these are truly descendants of dinosaurs.

We live next to an 11 acre farm field where they only make hay and are a stone's throw from the resevoir for York, PA so we see bald eagles occasionally around here.

Last summer at twilight my wife was standing out back watching the deer in the farm field and she saw an eagle take a fawn from about 50 feet away. The eagle hit the fawn full force and killed it instantly. It was a little heartbreaking watching the doe chase the eagle off and try to get her fawn to stand up and leave.

If a bald eagle can kill a fawn, it could probably prey on even a large dog.

I watched a video once of hunting a wolf in an open field with trained golden eagles. Fell on it hard and broke its back, IIRC.

It was funny, crows know better than to mess with a bald eagle.

Also these majestic birds are not above scavenging deer carcasses or dead pigs that farmers toss in the local fields when the hog houses are cleaned out. I have seen ten to twelve of them in a field right after the spreader empties its' load from the confinement shed.
