69. We have a pair of bald eagles that fly around our house every now and then.

They can be heard a long way off and I get out by the chicken area when I hear that sound. My spouse is so mesmerized by the hawks and eagles that he sometimes forgets they are preying on our chickens. But they are so beautiful and a lost chicken now and then is worth it just to see them fly by our window.
