I am trying to tape the battling hummingbirds in our yard in Marietta, Georgia, when I notice on the fence behind them... Surprise! a good sized red shouldered hawk, eating a fairly substantial snake. We've seen him take a squirrel too.

  • That is an awesome video! So happy you had a tripod! BTW what song is that? it is so badass! Sounds like it belongs during the credits of Predator. haha. But seriously what is the name of it?

  • @svlotoy Thanks. I got lucky. I had the camera already set up for something else.

    The music is from the Digital Juice royalty free music library, "Epic" CD. I don't remember the name but you could probably find a preview of it on their web site.

  • I wiuld share it with others if you corrected the hawk species- it is a red-shouldered hawk Nice video

  • @ticesupplee Done!

    I can't change anything in the video itself. YouTube rules.

  • is it possible to find hummingbirds in Snellville? or just there in marietta?

  • @TheGarcia350

    I don't know of any reason you wouldn't get them in Snellville. We're had very few this year, which has surprised me. At the time I shot this video they were visiting every 10 minutes or so in the afternoon.

    Here's a web site with some more GA Hummingbird information: gahummer.org

  • This music gave my boner a boner.

  • What great footage with an unexpected bonus shot! Keep on keepin on!

  • It's like the Hawk is sayin,"Hey bitches.Want some Snake?

    There's plenty you know.OH,that's how y'all are.I'll be back tomorrow,and one of you is gonna be where the snake is now,"

    (suddenly,a Humming bird takes a fly by crap on the Hawk)

    "Hey you lil bastard,i see that mark on your wing

    You're gonna be LUNCH to,,OUCH,stop crappin on me".

    (all the humming birds take turns dive bombing the Hawk)

    "I'll get you man,I'll eat you all"(flies away)

    Alpha Humming bird "Don't go away mad,Just go away"

  • Very cool!

  • poor snake dude....i once saw a hawk catch a little sparrow in real life and the sparrow was crying the most pitiful thing i have ever heard.....Truly heartbreaking - and this is coming from someone with a really strong stomach

  • Great video, love hawks.

  • @ticesupplee good call
