A few days ago a bald eagle came down next to the barn to eat one of my ducks. Everyone was making alarm sounds, the rooster, the geese and the drakes, but nobody did anything to help the poor duck. The geese, 9 of them, ran back to the duck house leaving the ducks to fend for themselves. The ducks in a panic couldn't figure out how to go around the fence back into their yard and instead were trying to go through the fence, which is what saved those particular ducks. The smart duck who ran around the fence to get back into the yard is the one who met the eagle. Luckily, the eagle didn't get its meal as I chased him off and he dropped the duck when he flew up. However, the duck though alive, is pretty tore up.
