A few bald eagles have been spotted in The Villages, as well as, red tip winged eagles. To my knowledge I have not heard of any attacks on dogs. That's not to say it couldn't happen. I suggest you always keep you pets with you so that you can monitor their actions. It's tempting to let our pets out in, invisible fenced areas, however who's going to tell the intruders there's invisible fencing? That's ok to let the dogs out, but you don't know who's coming in. Another bird you should be mindful of is the Woodstork Crane. I've heard of folks feeding these birds. Many do not not that within seconds these birds can poke an eye out.
