It's true, he could have taken me from behind. I saw him at the last second and powered straight up out of his way. It must of looked like Top Gun to him. LOL

It's still a beautiful picture, the more so as it must have been a heart stopping moment for you.

He definitely got my attention. I brought the drone down very quickly after that.

Super shot. As a regular visitor to the US and bird watcher I am wondering if one you guys could ID the hawk. Is it a red tailed or something else?

Starz · Nov 28, 2022

Not a Red Tail.
I could be wrong.

Looks like you made its day ...........NEVERMIND

Awesome but extremely scary shot

Have similar **** from always flying at the cost. **** seagulls always want to dive bomb near my drone

I just happened to be recording in video. I didn't know I captured the shot until after I landed. Pure luck.

I'm always recording in video for any of my flights, but if a specific area I like to get full images which is when I get the most problems as hovering a lot.
Trying to do sphere images near seagulls is a death wish

A bird could hurt itself, and crash your drone!

Hi......I was wondering if you were flying with those "FPV Googles" or just using the Controller sticks and a viewing device? Up high like that, its hard to see these Birds.....RonG in Maine (Mavic Air 2 and the Mavic Mini 2

I would guess Peregrine Falcon.
