We have a red tailed hawk that sits around the yard. It does go for
birds but has never gone for the fish...that we have seen. Fun to watch.

Glanced out the window yesterday just as a red-tailed hawk landed on
my back fence.

It looked around a bit, very interested in the pond, then suddenly it
swooped down and hit the water with it's talons, apparently missed
what it was aiming for, as it's talons were empty as it overshot and
landed on one of the boulders at the water's edge.

Knowing that boulder rather intimately, I used it as a guage to
guesstimate the hawk at about 24 inches high.

After staying there for a couple of minutes, it flew away.

Don't know if it was after one of the fish, or one of the 2 bullfrogs
I have right now, but something got lucky!
