Canada Geese, white tail deer and raccoons were never in any danger.
They are simply regulated by hunting regulations and where it is
illegal to hunt, they have become pests.
Municipalities are rethinking those regulations.
Japan is overrun by raccoons and they are destroying ancient buildings

Black bears have become significant suburban pests in places where
they were unknown for the last 150 years. It only took 30 years for
the "Florida Panther" (AKA cougar/Mountian Lion) to rebound to the
point that they are showing up in people's yards, eating their pets.
It is only a matter of time until they start eating kids.
I guess you all know about the pythons.

California even put more protection on mountain lions this year. They are
not endangered, have decimated the few remaining wild bighorn sheep in this
state. We have several around here. One a couple years ago, was seen on
two different school grounds in the same day. Shopping for lunch? Sort of
like sea lions. Way over protected. Can not even haze them away from an
area. La Jolla Cove in La Jolla is a prime example. People can not use
the cove anymore.

Plus the sea lions are aggressive to people.

Yup I was in L:a Jolla a couple years ago. I saw them

Nice? Where's Black's Beach? Any overhead at La Jolla should include a low level over Black's Beach.

oak behind one of the houses on the street. I stood there watching him and flagging down cars to
take a view. They all had fancy cell phones with cameras.
Finally, a seagull flew by the eagle, and the eagle took off. Don't know if it went after the
seagull or what, but it was a beautiful sight.
I've never seen one up here, although they're seen frequently further south along the Potomac.

We've had an unusual load of hawks and 'fish eagles' here this summer. Probably taking advantage of the large rains and back waters from last year. not to mention the small game that's in abundance.



That eagle should take advantage of the sea gull though.
Here's the eagle that was hanging around my sister's house in cape Breton.
The utility pole fed a detached garage a bit in from the road.
My brother-in-law would throw a frozen fish onto the field on occasion.

The eagle on Catalina Island will take a baitfish from the charter boat
captains hand.

I hope the captain is careful how he holds thee fish. i may be wrong, but i doubt if a talon is that discriminatory...
