Bloody Talons

[BGM]

A red-tailed hawk’s talons during a territorial fight with another hawk. I feel like it makes a nice 4k wallpaper.

I had high expectations of seeing a spectacular aerial battle between two avian predators but what I saw in the 90 seconds - closed the YouTube tab - was literally a turf war, err pavement war.  All that you have done is to highlight the super slow motion capability of your camera, which you may have thought was cool but it was monotonous to watch two hawks flip-flopping and wrestling on the ground in super slow motion, it completely lacked any drama.
