Sorry, hawk. Drones are not food.

While piloting his Phantom FC40 quadcopter around Magazine Beach Park in Cambridge, Massachusetts on Wednesday, Christopher Schmidt had a small run-in with an angry hawk.

Schmidt's Phantom was equipped with a GoPro camera, which recorded the bird attack. You can see the drone falling to the ground moments after. According to the video's descriptions, the hawk quickly retreated after the attack.
