Hawk Experience - Creepy Pippy - 06-07-2005
I had a wild experience with a Cooper's Hawk yesterday when I was picking my b/f up from work I wanted to share with you guys.
Chriss truck was in the shop so I went to pick him up from work. The parking lot at his work has several oak trees that shade the area quite well. I was sitting in my car reading while waiting for him when some birdcalls caught my attention. I got out of my car and walked around to see what they were being there was a couple of them at least. There was a family of Cooper Hawks hopping around tree to tree, four of them to be exact. One of them I could never get a clear view of to see if it was an adult or immature. Two of them were immature, and one was an adult, clearly the mother from all their actions. This in and of its elf is pretty cool, to get to watch her looking out for them and them getting excited and calling out when they see her. However I have more of an interesting thing happen.
The mother saw me. She watched me for a bit. Then she decided to shoo me away from her kids (that is the impression I got). She swooped down at me! She landed in another tree and watched me a bit, now my attention fully on her. She swooped down right at me again! Every time she would swoop down at me I would get these electrical chills that would start at the base of my neck and completely wash down my back. At this point I had walked away from where her kids were and it was just me and her watching each other. She proceeded to swoop down a total of 11 times at me. Going directly to me, getting closer each time, she managed to get about 6 feet away from me the last couple of times she did that. The closer she got, when she was right above me, the stronger the electrical rush was that flooded down my back.
We ended up back at my car. Me leaning against it, her in a small tree about 20-30 feet up. We watched each other for a long time it seemed. We would look around at other things, but always ended up back at each other. She never called out; she would just watch me and swoop down at me. When Chris came she looked at us for a minute or two then flew away (without the swooping down part). I am sure that part if not all of that was her protecting her kids since I took an obvious interest in them. I wonder if she was thinking the opposite of what I was What is the deal with this crazy human?!.What is the deal with this crazy hawk?!

Amazing event and good question Pippy:
What is the deal with this crazy human?!.What is the deal with this crazy hawk?!
I agree. We share the same Planet, same world, even the same perception in a large way. We could understand each other much better then we can imagine. Maybe we could even interact with the same purpose?
And what do we do? We grow apart? Whose fault is that? Ours? Theirs?
As far as I can see man is the one that makes distance between him self and the rest of the beings on this planet.
No wonder that Hawk asks :''What is the matter with this crazy human?''
But it is nice to know that there are people like you that can hear and understand more that mere human existence.
From my point; Great stalking!
All the best to you,
Castor

Well the main feeling I got from her was to stay away from her kids. Then I got a general "curious" feeling but still guarded. I also got an impression at one point that my purple hair was attracting her to swoop down on me. But at one point I did laugh and think what I had mentioned above.
And I think it was more her stalking me than me doing any stalking of any kind! Haha!
