If it was a Bird, they usually Bump it or take it down! Either or!

I believe it to be a Turkey Vulture, we have a lot of these in our area. I believe the red to be its head. I have checked the drone thoroughly and haven't found anything that it could be.

I finally inspected my drone again, lo and behold this 74 yr old brain forgot he had velcroed two strobes to the front and back. Thank you to BigAl for mentioning the strobe. It had me stumped and since these turkey buzzards are everywhere so I just assumed and you know what that means. Not to worry Meta I will not post anymore, you embarrassed me enough!

Hey .. don't let me put you off.
Please keep posting and if you do find any birds of a feather, I'd be pleased to try to id them.

I've never videoed this "event" but I've seen it many MANY times because I run a pair of strobes on my aircraft all the time. I've seen the forward strobe come into frame several times on just about every flight. It's even more visible when you're flying in SPORT mode and making aggressive moves which I do between shots.
