There goes the neighborhood

Often there have been bald eagles perched in trees along the river. But they are moving closer. About a week ago there was one in a tree near the little creek i cross before i get to the blue highway. Then today two more, this time even closer, just around the corner from the house. Now, what are they finding this far from their normal perches. Haven't seen many hares this winter. Maybe some smaller neighborhood pets are disappearing. I looked carefully but neither was wearing woman-sized cowboy boots.
