Hawk Takes Flight (one minute 15 second version)

This is the minute and 15 seconds version of Hawk Takes Flight. I spotted this large yellowish brown hawk , sitting on a bush, across the pond.... and my window was closed. If I opened the window the hawk was sure to take off. And what a drama was taking place all around this hawk. It was being attacked and dive bombed constantly for quite a while by several red winged blackbirds and a Baltimore Oriole. I have an upcoming video, showing all that - but with muted outdoor sound, as the window through which I was shooting , was closed. After shooting that, I decided to open the window and as soon as I did, the hawk took off. It all happened so fast that by the time I had the camcorder recording and steady and trained on the big bird, I got 3 seconds of its flight, before it flew out of sight of the camera. I took those 3 seconds and stretched them out to 1 minute and 15 seconds. Since the window was OPEN for this 3 second flight clip, when slowed down from 3 seconds to 1M15Sec, the sound is also slowed way down. The sound WAS of the red winged black bird angrily in pursuit of the hawk. You see the red winged black bird quite distinctly at the 37 second mark and on ...coming quite close to the hawk.
