Yeah, now we have to worry about them and hawks killing our chickens. One wiped out my neighbors chickens.

This is correct. That's a Mexican eagle
Are they similar in size the the American Bald Eagle or the Golden Eagle?

They are one of the largest birds form the Falcon family but they seem to be a good bit smaller than a Bald Eagle.

Mexican Eagle, more and more common around SWLA West Fork of Calcasieu River had a nesting pair at one time. Probably 10 years ago

I've never seen one. Very cool. Not sure if they come around
Pensacola or not, but I'd love to photograph one.

They’re becoming more and more common in SW LA.

I’ve seen them in the lacassine reserve and in Carlyss a few times. Not often but enough to notice.
I duck hunted and fished in Gum Cove, not far from Carlyss, for years at my uncle's camp. These were some of the best times I ever had in my life. We used to sproadically see Fulvous and Black-bellied Whistling Ducks, but very few. Now the latter are all over the place and have become a nuisance to rice farmers. There was also a bird called the Black Francolin that my uncle's lessor released on his property in hopes of establishing a resident population; this experiment failed and they all died off.
I've also noticed near Gueydan Limpkins and Snail Kites. Both feast on the invasive Apple Snail. Let's hope they keep these nasty pests in check.

You got any pics of snail kites?
Would be a pretty big deal for Louisiana

See them all time lng congrats opp..

Definitely some changes in patterns with the birds. A couple years back in the Snowpocalypse I had White Wing Doves in my yard. I'm in the NW Corner of LA. I figured they were escaping the subzero blizzard conditions in Texas and that that would be the only time I ever saw them but now I've got them every February.

No kidding, I saw this same type of bird on the Cameron/Holly Beach ferry on Sunday. Crazy to come here and see that.

They are everywhere in Sweetlake and Grand Lake.

They're basically a buzzard so I don't want no part of that.
