Watch the Eagles and Hawks

[FASTFJR]

I’ve seen seagulls and crows show more interest than hawks.

You have that right, in Bermuda last year their were a few times I could not fly because the seagulls were very interested in taking my Mavic out Lol

Your ability to track with your camera is amazing. Also watching the first video I was struck by how the hawk held it's visual tracking absolutely level as he flew by, LOL

Beautiful wildlife pictures, amazing shots!

I’ve taken many wildlife pictures, most are birds of prey they usually are very relaxed and not intimated by drones.

I’ll try and dig up a few of mine.

Congratulations!

Went up to get a sunset shot and saw this guy sitting on the pine. He was curious, but not threatened. I stayed away enough and zoomed in with the M2Z.
I was ready to shoot straight up if he started to fly. Screen shot from video.

Thanks for sharing the great shot! I am always looking out for hawks or Ravens. Togh for me t actually get a good picture so far though.

Wow, you guys have some nice encounters! I had run-ins with hawks (buteo buteo) twice. Once with my Mavic Pro, I was foolish enough to try and follow one (should not have harrassed the wildlife, I know). It turned out it hadn't seen me at all and nearly turned into me:

Both encounters left me absolutely awestruck, I just love these majestic animals!

Holy Cow, awesome videos! My dream is to fly with the Eagles one day. Thanks for sharing!
