Hawk attacks quadcopter drone cam

[KillRamsey]

This is right down the street from where I live - and you can allllmost see where I work. Apparently the hawk didn't appreciate the drone flying near his turf.

That was great. Poor drone though.

I'm with the hawk on this one..

The local hawks are like our unofficial mascots. There are a lot of them, and they command respect.

We need to arm the drones. Oh, wait a minute . . .

methinks its time for us citizens to start buying & training falcons in hawk-ian anti-drone technique, no? only half ):ing.

I had one of the %&*ing things flying round outside here the other week and they're %&*ing noisy and intrusive.

So a big up for the bird I say

ouch! way to go hawk! I hope the rotors didn't injure him/her...
good thing the camera is robust!

Did the hawk get hurt at all? I have not been around these drones -- are the propellers designed to not hurt? Would hate for a hawk to get hurt following it's natural instinct.

It flew off, but I don't know the videographer so I'm not sure. Looked like he was ok.
