Quite apart from the eagles, I'm glad to hear that. Lot of places,
catfish farms folded when the feed costs skyrocketed toward the end of
last year.

We have quite a few eagles and hawks here as well as on our Dryside
place. Here they like the areas near fish farms where they can pick
off the escapees that the sea lions don't get first. On the dry-side
its the moles, voles and other rodents they feed on. The most eagled-
up place is San Juan Island around American camp. Its rabbits,
rabbits, rabbits in an over nibbled grass and pellet covered acreage
that I call Little Bangladesh. The Golden Eagles are fat up there.

make...for me, charge me a little more the next time I eat at Long John
silvers...hehehe

these are for sale if you've an interest in becoming a farmer of
catfish. the costs have caused several to fold and the ones i pass
occasionally are for sale or have reduced the number of active ponds.
there are always birds of prey...including vultures and sea gulls
hanging around...the eagles and hawks are a bonus view. the fish stay
deep until the food pellets are delivered...then all hell breaks loose.
