Yeah, I was a little less enthusiastic about have those talons on my head; even with the assurance that it wouldn't hurt because they don't clamp down when they do that.

I get you, brah...5-lb raptor tries to light on my head with razor sharp talons...I'm going to duck as well.

 

Those talons are literally like needles. Not even an exaggeration. Dispatching prey with them is usually not an issue as they usually just slide right in and hit the vitals.

 

I was with them this weekend when this bird nailed a rabbit. I didn't get it on video though as the bird got it right over a small hill so I didn't see the moment it captured it. Had both talons right on the bunny's head. When these hawks are actually trying...it's incredible what they are capable of in regards to capturing prey.

Saw this guy across the street today. The bigger female that was right beside it took off before my wife could get her camera. http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a461/RyanCorlew/Outdoors/IMG_9823_zpsto5crudu.jpg
