A couple of years ago, a red-shouldered hawk cleaned out all of my red gold guppy breeders and a few hundred golden mystery snails before I figured out what was happening.
Just by happenstance, I met a falconer who was also an aquarist and told him about the guppies and mystery snails disappearing, and he told me I had a red-shouldered hawk eating my fish and snails. We started watching for them, and sure enough, my wife saw the hawk two days later.
Now I like having the hawks here. I have a vegetable garden and have lots of varmint issues. The hawks eat rabbits and squirrels. If it were not for the hawks, the tree rats would destroy everything. I just wish the hawks didn't eat my fish.
