Hawk attacks woman in Maple Grove, and neighbors say she’s not the first

[@createone100]

Hawk has a nest nearby. Stay away for 2-3 weeks and they’ll go away.

[@PatsPurposefulPutzing]

same thing with red shouldered hawks here in Indiana -- if you get near one of their fledglings (but don't know it) you will get bonked -- happened to my wife

[@chevyhawk406]

The hawk is probably sick of humans

[@lourdestapia8528]

Hehe

[@dragonsguardianofcrystalhearts]

That's exactly what I was thinking.. that or she did something to one of his ancestors.

[@blobbertmcblob4888]

🙄These kinds of comments are absolutely stupid. Animals don't think in the way we do.

[@catonthemoon2084]

Me too

[@jennifershanks453]

Maybe they are near the nest and perceived as a threat?

[@moonshoes11]

That seems very likely.

[@RioJudy]

Correct!

[@sibhuskyguy]

when raptors attack humans it's almost always because a human has done something to them or their nests... they aren't stupid... once they see humans as a threat they will attack other humans.

[@jeffdunnell6693]

Warning signs are posted where hawks have nests,they aren’t just attacking people for nothing,it’s their nature to protect their nests

[@l.c.4788]

I wonder if she learned something 🤔....talons are sharp! smh

[@phillpauley6672]

Probably didn't like her haircut. 😂

[@kellidinit3725]

Well, blue jays do this too, but blue jays hold a grudge too. Not to mention they are usually mean to the other birds. I’ve had a few that weren’t at my feeders though.

[@SherryHill-k5y]

I saw a blue jay swoop down and bite a small dog!

[@alvaroherrera3842]

It was because his haircut looks like a run-down squirrel

[@timefortinybirdandfriends6565]

Momma Hawkie protecting her nest.

[@markuse3472]

The hawk is mad she tried deceiving him with a fake owl. Hawk: don't play games with me.

[@purpleivy9174]

Hey, in AZ we use the fake owls too. But I use the to keep eagles and big owls from stealing and flying away with my small dog. 😂 I’m a MN native who had lived in AZ to long, all that green blinded me.

[@KingofgraceSARA]

Must have a nest of eggs/ fledglings nearby.

[@blobbertmcblob4888]

"Forces the bird to live closer to humans" Absolute nonsense. Birds of prey thrive in cities. There's a reason New York is full of falcons.

[@AngelMartineZz89]

not all types

[@pfrydog]

Small animals even toy sized dogs are targets.

[@13realmusic]

Guess hawks are only slightly more annoying then the average neighbor.

[@jakckt]

They are just protecting their babies. Can’t blame them. They instinctively know that humans are not to be trusted.

[@phillpauley6672]

Every spring i have random birds do the same thing to me while I'm working on stuff and being noisy. I guess I'm disturbing naptime for their babies. Lol I just laugh and shrug it off but try to stay a little on guard for the next swoop. 😂

[@72marshflower15]

Maybe stop building on top of them? When the wildlife says you suck, maybe take a hint.

[@blobbertmcblob4888]

There's plenty of wild space. leave the city every now and then.

[@t.a.ackerman4098]

0:35 "A landing zone"? lol.

[@CA-lf7jt]

Nesting . Same w owls once that time of year comes around I look from a far w binos. So glad this woman wasn’t scalped omg. Poor lady

[@debracisneroshhp2827]

Yes__believe me when I say that was a 'warning'! If it was something else that 'scratch' would have been a lot deeper, with a trip to the hospital. 😱 That bird knew exactly what he/she was doing!

[@chuckchilders9966]

This lady is SO Minnesota. Lol😊

[@catonthemoon2084]

I see she had the landing gear down when flying over her head 😂

[@michaelgray356]

Ya god forbid anyone go for a walk!

[@dragonsguardianofcrystalhearts]

Hawk: Hey. Get off my lawn. I'm raising chicks here! People: run away!

[@markb9051]

If the bird feels threatened, it should retreat.

[@Ambigouos010Pronoun]

safe to say she got the hawk "tua" part of this.

[@72marshflower15]

Stupid asf.. this country sucks.. no wonder the wildlife attacks people, lol..

[@steven-te4vt]

Looks more like a sharp shin hawk.

[@angelasieg5099]

We have a bald eagle nest on our place. One dive bombed my daughter it tried to grab our little Lily. She is 2lb Yorkie poodle mix.

[@muddwhistle7833]

I used to have crabs in my pants attack me all the time

[@ale7564]

Did it pay for the dad’s hat?

[@huskeyfosterfail4980]

Sad that the hawk is protecting its young and then is made a villain by people who have encroached into habitat. Idk who is worse here - the people who cry victim or the reporter who sensationalized a hawk protecting its young. Either way shame on them both.

[@guyjohnson3775]

🙏🏻

[@lavendersprig2905]

Good god !

[@pinchebruha405]

Haaaa haaaaaaa i went to feed my chickens one tiiiime….hair up in a bun I was sitting on a bail of hay so closer to the sky all of a sudden my chickens all jumped and scattered meanwhile My hair was being attacked obviously it thought my massive bun of curls (ladies don’t hate😂) was one of my frisées man I fought that thing off, it was just relentless! Hats will help you from getting torn up and buns 😂😂😂😂😂

[@debracisneroshhp2827]

I suggest people watch Robert E. Fuller on YT__a wildlife artist and photographer. He documents the lives of birds of prey and other animals near his home in England. You will learn how fierce these birds can be in defence of their young. Meaning, in the cases of these hawks 'dive bombing' people, it's because they feel their nests are being threatened! In that one scenario it looked as though a tree in the person's yard was recently cut down__which would definitely put the hawk on alert! Those 'scratches' were assuredly a warning__if it were anything but, they would have been much deeper with a trip to the ER! 😛

[@trumpwon8064]

Nobody cares

[@Barnabas45]

I can see why you're moniker is trumpwon!

[@13realmusic]

Disliked this

[@deeso4819]

yes one would care when its your living space and nearby persons are attacked with broken bleedig skin and you spend the summer sheltering in or walking around with umbrellas and helmets due to this... also its unknown what organisms are on those claws. my elderly neighbor needed stitches. i was injured. thank goodness no children have been...yet. come to find out our neighborhood has been dealing with this for 10-12yrs pls rethink your thoughts on this.

[@deeso4819]

@@Barnabas45 oh my goodness... why say that..there should be no politics linked to this situation...or is there?.. i have spent hours over the last month in the dark hole of bureaucracy trying to get help to get this managed with no resolve... state to federal agencies to local-calling all the places they tell me to contact -nothing done yet...we're still needing to be on the defensive when outdoors and summer is soon gone.

[@pfrydog]

Go back to Russia.

[@Starlight03690]
