Gotta love this. A drone being flown above a park in Cambridge, Mass., was attacked and knocked out of the sky by a hawk. Having vanquished the intruder, the hawk flew away apparently uninjured. Reportedly the noisy drone also survived the incident. Too bad.
Hurray, hawk! Long may you rule the skies.
HA! Isn’t this great? Had to stick a link in today’s post, too. Go hawk! You may be our only hope
We need more hawks to police our skies. Think I’m going to start a new business — Hire-a-Hawk.
Me too, HA!! Love it. Wee bit of a design flaw, drone-wise, wouldn’t you say?
The design flaw was letting every Tom, Dick, and Harry buy one of the damned things in the first place.
Go Hawks!
Good point! Go Hawks! indeed.
Go Hawks! This made me think about that swarm of bees in Arizona. I wonder if,? Sorry my mind goes to strange places early in the morning. Thank you for sharing this.
It’s early for me, too, so I don’t understand the bee reference (maybe after I’ve had my coffee). Not important, as long as you enjoyed the hawk.
Oh, wait, I just played the video again and the drone does sound like a swarm of bees. All the more reason I’m glad the hawk knocked it down. I wouldn’t want a sound like that around me, either. (Plus, I hadn’t heard about the bee attack in AZ until now. Terrible story.)
Yes it is an awful story. My mind thought that if a drone was close to a swarm of bees the noise might bother them and they would take the drone down. Silly I know..
Not so silly. I’d think at the very least a nearby drone would stir up a hive of bees and the really aggressive ones might actually attack something noisy and moving in their vicinity.
ps: I happen to be a Bee lover. I am not a fan of drones being in every idiots hands.
Possibly agitating bees is just one more reason not to have drones around.
