so where i live we have an eagles nest right behind our house. cool right? but for the fact i have a small dog. also there are hawks to!! 
when im walking her they end up flying low over us and i pick her up ’till they go away. even on a leash its not safe! she uses a doggie litter box instead of going outside, so i just take her out to walk her 1-2 times a day and a few minutes between. what else can i do to keep her safe from these animals? also- how can u tell an eagle nd hawk apart from the ground when they are flying? which bird should i be more concerned about?
miff buster- i want to get a few more ideas[thank u verry much] and a lot of people do u a doggie litter box, sorry that i love my dog! and my smallest dog is only 4pounds and the other is 10pounds. the raptors around here and NOT afraid of people. they stand/perch on peoples houses. turkey vultures will be in the middle of the rode eating and not move when a car passes or almost hits them. eagles and hawks have tried to get my dogs wile they are on a leash!

The hawks sit and stalk the birds in my evergreen trees in my yard.
I just noticed a rat this morning near my house. I have some trees and a stream behind my house so I assume it lives down there somewhere. I have not seen any rat droppings in my house or heard any “scurrying” or “scratching” at night. There is no evidence of rats being in my house but the sight of one near my house for the first time since I have lived there (4 years) is making me kind of nervous. I wonder if there is anything I should do to prevent them from coming in or just leave them to the hawks that will come around the house occasionally, feeding on the birds and mice. I don’t know if I should be worried or not.
This bird appears to be black in color, or at least very dark. It has a hawks bill used for snatching little hatchlings right out from underneath the mother. It feeds off of another seabird, although I do not believe it is a seagull. Hunts very fast, so that before the mother knows whats happening, it has made off with her baby. I saw this on the Animal Planet during the airing of one their “Most Extreme” episodes. Any idea?
