    I kept waiting for the deployment of bright yellow canary decoys to draw the raptor's attention away...

    @Ambiguously Unfunny Syrax: I have no clue why you didn't have a heart from me before now, I'm sorry. I gave you a click immediately after I recovered from the excruciatingly painful belly laugh I suffered from watching it again after reading your comment.

    @Ambiguously Unfunny Serial Killer:

    Patience is the greatest of all virtues.

    Cato the Elder (234 BC - 149 BC)


    A handful of patience is worth more than a bushel of brains.

    Dutch Proverb


    If I have ever made any valuable discoveries, it has been owing more to patient attention, than to any other talent.

    Isaac Newton (1642 - 1727)


    There will be a time when loud-mouthed, incompetent people seem to be getting the best of you. When that happens, you only have to be patient and wait for them to self destruct. It never fails.

    Richard Rybolt


    Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them - every day begin the task anew.

    Saint Francis de Sales (1567 - 1622)

    Um...fake? While I think this really happened, I believe it to be staged. Don't ask me why it is just a hunch gang. My guess, a falconer or falconer club built a training drone to work with there real birds. I have seen rear mounted cameras on R/C planes before but everything is a little too neat and tidy to be an accident.


    Also the raptor looks to have a lanyard on its talon.

    @Karpet: Not fake, in the shots when the real bird is further away, you can see another smaller bird trying to chase it off.
