Red-tailed Hawk

What goes through your mind when you are standing in the open and a beautiful raptor checking you out from about 3 meters above your head?

 

I didn't think that they can dive-bomb on people until recently I saw a post here on Flickr. A guy got injured dodging a Swainson's Hawk dive attack. Then another news: "postal workers in Moose Jaw, Sask., are taking cover after hawks have started to dive-bomb them". Now I think about it when I see a raptor in the sky and I don't like these thoughts... Ignorance is a bliss :)
