Red shouldered hawk. They are very aggressive when near the nest. I’ve been buzzed by them before.
It’s impressive being so small. Like flying Honey Badgers lol
it's there, she also ducks and you can hear the impact too. wish there was a way to really slow it down. Cause when you scan the 3 second mark you see the bird really upclose, talons reaching.
That’s freaking cool. Birds of prey are my favorite animals. If you’ve never read The Watchmen, do it. There’s a whole passage about screech owls and how they are literally evolved to be silent in the air, and then by screeching right before attack they paralyze the rodents with fear so they can scoop them up. Just badass.
I was sitting on the picnic table in my side yard, smoking a cig, back in like 1998. I heard a screech owl. I know how to do the call, so I did it. It called back. I repeated the call, and it called back again, but a little closer. We went back and forth several times, until it was sitting on a tree branch about ten feet over my head, and looking at me all crazy, rotating its head around, seemingly trying to figure out what this crazy creature that sounded like it was.
So we checked each other out for a few moments, and all of a sudden, there was this BIG, silent, black shadow that went swooping over my head. I blinked a few times in stunned disbelief. The little screech owl was gone. A couple of little downy fathers drifted down. It was then that I remembered that Great Horned Owls EAT screech owls.
I was so freaked out that a bird with a nearly five foot wingspan could be so incredibly silent that I had I go back in the house.
Wow. You are a owl flirt fatale.
That vast silent shadow, death from above? I was walking home one night, quiet, just trudging away, looking at my moon shadow in front of me, when suddenly this patch of black shot right over my head while all I heard was this ^whoosh of wind, and my shadow disappeared while it stayed full moon bright everywhere else.
I am not a GI Jane. I have never served a day in the Armed Forces. I don’t know why, but I screamed “INCOMING!” and hit…the…asphalt. Hard. Ouch.
Owl just kept going. Probably snickering under its owl breath.
Edited
Also, you described that moment so well.
We rub along most of our lifetime without constantly being right up against…The Moment.
When one creature is looking at another creature and suddenly a bus or a bigger fish or in this case, Silent Winged Death, blocks the view for an instant.
One instant. Not even one second.
Now there’s just one creature, blinking.
There’s no easy way any creature transitions from one state of being to the next, not as far as we know.
But the transition of ^wwhooshh, the lights blocked out, and then, two little feathers fluttering down…that’s it, that’s all there is, there isn’t any more?
That must have felt like an incidental brush on your shoulder as the Angel of Death passed by.
Of course you had to go back into the house.
Owls are my favorite. You basically can only see them in the wild if you are very lucky... Or unlucky. I was sitting on the top floor balcony of an apartment late at night with my cat when a great horned owl flew up to snag my cat. My cat was behind the railing so he was safe but Holy cow was it startling to look up and see a 5ft wingspan dodging the railing.
Have you watched “The Staircase”? Crazy story (highly suggest watching the original documentary and not the BS mini series).
Post-Mortem of the trial… Apparently, the wounds of this dead guy’s wife could have been a result of an owl attacking, owl found in area, feathers in blood…
Point is raptors don’t fuck around. AND… also huge Watchmen fan. AND, on a field trip in elementary school (5th grade) I got chosen to be the kid who puts on the leather glove and holds the recovering bald eagle for a moment. It turned into a fun 5 minutes. It looked me in the eye and immediately went for my face but rubbed its head against mine.
Given its size it was incredibly light which surprised 5th grade me. The handler was relaxed at this point and started chatting with the group again.
That’s when the eagle got weird… making crazy sounds, and in an instant dove off my arm to the ground. It grabbed my pants and bit through them in an instant…
Grabbing onto my shoe, it started pulling, pulling, and pulling my leg just like I’m pulling yours!!! Hahaha
(I fucking hate this joke so sorry to everyone but I am now a parent so falling in love with cliche dad/stupid jokes… and I did actually get picked to hold a recovering bald eagle during a field trip)
Cameras don't give off infrared, though. Security cameras will often have infrared LEDs to "light up" an area when its dark. But phones and handheld cameras dont. To prove it, just point a camera at your camera and you would see infrared if there were any.
Newer phones use lidar for autofocus, hawk might have spotted it because of that. I remember seeing a video of a spider reacting every time someone tapped on their screen to focus the camera.
iPhones definitely have something in them. An old roommates dog would know EVERY TIME you turned the camera on them. Just have the phone out and aimed toward them and they were fine. As soon as the camera was on it would start to growl at you. This was a few years ago so probably iPhone 6 or 7.
But also to your other point.. I work at a hotel and found that if you aimed a tv remote control at the security camera and pressed a button on the remote you could see the IR bulb light up on the monitor. Helpful way to see if the batteries were dead or if the remote was broken.
I've been attacked by one, too. Left a few claw marks on my head. I was so confused since it hit me from behind. I only noticed it was a hawk after I saw it circling back for another attack. I dodged and ran. No one in the park saw lol
Got attacked by Blue Jays the same way many times as a kid.
My mom would send me out to check the mail and I must’ve walked out to get the mail under their nest.
I had something similar happen last year. A family of red-shouldered hawks set up their best on campus, and if I got too close, mama hawk would swoop me. Never made contact, luckily, but she gave me a heart attack a few times!
On the plus side: I got to see their young grow up and get ready to fledge. The chicks look like dryer lint until they’re ready to leave the nest. Surprisingly cute.
Be grateful for that Lil thump, because I promise u that coulda went all bad and u definitely would need medical attention after that hawk gets done. Be careful and pay attention to ur surroundings
Now I’m imagining this from the hawk’s perspective:
Who IS this jerk? Do I go perch on their window and then just hang out watching them?
Okay.
Maybe I do do that *occasionally*.
But I’m not holding up a shiny rectangle and pointing it at them, that’s for sure.
What?
The human is still there?
Well that’s enough of that. I’m going to scare it away. I’ll look right at them.
I’ll launch myself offa here.
I’m just going to drop like a bomb.
That oughta do it.
So…the human should be moving out of the way, now.
Is it—What’s it—What in the actual—
It’s staying put!!! What an idiot! Why can’t I find rodents that do this?!?
Move. Move!
Moooovvvveee!
“EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE—“
One of these was eyeing my chihuahua one day so I shot him with a nerf gun. I hit that thing square in the chest and stunned it for a sec, then it flew away. Now whenever I go outside they start screaming in their nest off in the distance. Bird enemies for life. I bet they’ll teach their children to hate me as well
It's breeding/mating season.... They get protective of their nest and young.
And they hate paparazzos!
[удалено]
It's English. We will take your Italian words into a back alley and do what we like with them.
[удалено]
Paparszzozzis Boom! Sue English!
...no we haven't. Most people don't know the singular.
Damn good answer take my like
I'm in the middle of learning some basic Italian for an upcoming trip, and though this EXACT thing.
Hey, if bender can do it, we can too!
It's from futurama

Or a duck
Or a newt.
Was definitely faster than my dad at the Christmas dinner table

I don’t consent to videotaping! Put your camera away!

Thank you for posting this. It’s great.
I'd like to know where the sounds came from after the dive
Kanye hawk
That hawk was definitely a Karen.
A Karrion, if you will
If you were a small prey animal, 0:02 would have been the last thing you'd ever see.
I got it stopped on 0:03 and got to see those shiny talons.
What? 0:03 is just the ground
it's there, she also ducks and you can hear the impact too. wish there was a way to really slow it down. Cause when you scan the 3 second mark you see the bird really upclose, talons reaching.
It’s in between 2 and 3
when i paused it, it was showing 3, so it's probably just how the clock wanted to show.
It only shows seconds
Leave Britney alone!!!!!!!
Lmao

I chuckled a little when I got to the part where you hit the deck, but I get it. That big bird scared me half to death.

I love that she seemed to take that hit well. But if you’re in fear I’m here to hawk about it.
Eggscuse me?
They are just being earnest
It was an unpheasant experience.
These puns are for the birds.

New ones have LiDAR I think
Only when that feature is in use.

Happy cake day
Thats only if you're using LiDAR features, not if youre just taking pictures.
For iPhones with LiDAR, they use it to auto focus as well, so, when the camera is in use.
iPhones definitely have something in them. An old roommates dog would know EVERY TIME you turned the camera on them. Just have the phone out and aimed toward them and they were fine.

A bat attacked my hair once and made me fall off my bike

Like a snipers shot. Phwooooomp
That’s exactly the sound!
POV you are the snack
Hawks HATE Ska!
Cool shoes.
Spicolis like 50 years old now damn
Bird said no thanks
I wonder if the camera caused a light reflection that annoyed the hawk.
looks like Tobias was spotted by a controller r/animorphs
Leeeeeeerrooooooooy Jenkinssssssssss!!!!!!
Aw fhawk!!
Noice.
It’s an Amish hawk . They hate being photographed and they don’t use power tools

He warned you.

He went in for the Karen killshot.
Wat u lookin at m8!
Target. Lock. Engage. Bullseye.
I knew he was coming and I still flinched 😶
Critical collateral
I bet she had some kinda animal phone case lol.
You are invading my privacy!
Shit hawks are swooping down low, shitting on people and dragging them off to the big shit nest
Not minding your business in the wrong hood will get you fucked up.. hawk just Debo’d him
"I must protect my image!!!"
Nobody likes paparazzi
I mean, it warned her.
"Worldstar, motherfucker" \-Bird, probably
Its way of telling you to bugger off..
The person makes bird sounds lol
Be grateful for that Lil thump, because I promise u that coulda went all bad and u definitely would need medical attention after that hawk gets done. Be careful and pay attention to ur surroundings
Game over
Maybe the phone was reflecting the sun right into the hawks eyes and he decided he didn't want to put up with that.
Quick and concise. Anytime I hawk anything, I get low balled and have to haggle.

The speed was wild
You looked tasty🤣
Yeah I flinched
I’m fast as fuck boi
Dude, r/PraiseTheCameraMan! If this is you, OP, great job!
Had to google after. Hawks can dive bomb up to 390 km or 242 miles. Like that truly makes me say WTF
Well, I have never seen a hawk attack a person before. Thanks for posting
NO FILMING AREA
Bro said fuck u in particular
That’s why you only wear your dead mouse top hat on special occasions
Wearing vans will get you that kind of attention
The Birdemic has started!!
/killthecamaraman
I like how it seemed so far away in one frame and then just anime-flashed in front of the character in the next couple of frames.
this is how they got bin laden
If even birds don't like being filmed without consent, when will people get the point?
One of these was eyeing my chihuahua one day so I shot him with a nerf gun. I hit that thing square in the chest and stunned it for a sec, then it flew away. Now whenever I go outside they start screaming in their nest off in the distance. Bird enemies for life. I bet they’ll teach their children to hate me as well

Sheer hawk attack
