i'm surprised the cat owner isnt freaking out. Maybe she gave the eagle weed.

yeah thats right, BACK DOWN

This thread actually reminds me of some of the craziest shit I've seen in NYC.

The other day, I went to Shake Shack for a burger. If you don't know, Shake Shack is an outdoor little burger joint in a park on the corner of 23rd St and Broadway, right by The Flatiron Building. Awesome fucking burgers, btw.

Anyway,

It's really cold out and I'm waiting to get my burger and I realize all of these people are looking up into this tree above me. They're pulling out their cameras and cell phones and saying things like "He's eating another bird". I look up to see what they are looking at and it is literally raining feathers. Up on a branch directly over my head was a giant white hawk that had caught a pigeon and was devouring it, ripping its feathers out in the process.

People were dumbfounded. This dude next to me said "There are bird chunks all over the ground" and I looked down next to my feet to see a feather with a bloody chunk of bird, still attached.

This hawk was pretty big too. He was at least 2.5 feet high, perched and his talons were the size of my fingers.

I got my burger and fries and ate my meal, looking up as this predator also ate his. I literally had to shield my food so that the feathers didn't fall into it.

It was a profound moment, I'm sure for all of us that were there. It's not too often that New Yorkers are confronted with a stark reminder of nature such as that.

this is jazzband, i know it is.

cool! bet you will find it on youtube by now.

Me and my dad went for a drive around the countryside near me the other day and there was a massive bird of prey sat on some hay thing, think it was a Buzzard, huge fucker it was...I wanted to stop and have a proper look but there was loads of traffic behind us. bah! I have alyways been fascinated with birds of prey.

SQUAAAAAAK

incredible! something very unsettling about seeing a predator becoming the prey.

i'm surprised an eagle is capable of bringing down a wolf. once the eagle has made it's

initial strike and on the ground i would've thought it was pretty much dog food.

Didn't find that Wolf hunting video particular nice viewing, but the first video is very interesting. Amazing to see it swoop all the way down to it's nest with a goat gripped in it's talons.

cool video bro

@ taking down the wolf: jesus.

I want to sample the music from the wolf video

that tremolo is hilarious
