So there is this red-tailed hawk that comes by and watches me fly my drones every so often. I have captured him before with a Mavic, but this time saw him sitting in a tree while I was testing my Inspire2. He doesn't appear particularly bothered. For all you nature fans out there, I would never attempt to get real close, or bother a bird like this sitting in a nest. The video is unedited, and it was quite windy that day, and I was trying to keep my distance. So it's not very cinematic. Also he is so well camaflogued that while he shows up nicely in the version viewed on a computer screen or TV, on the live feed onto an iPad it was difficult with short glances down to the screen and then up to the drone again to keep him exactly in frame.

Cool video Sam!  Be careful flying your "nano" drone in front of him, he may just have it for lunch! Ken.

That's pretty neat, it must be a source of entertainment for him.

Hawks and birds of prey are notorious for attacking drones.

I wouldn't trust him as fas as you can see him.
