Not sure what possessed a hawk to fly into an eagle's nest, with an eagle in it, but it didn't end good for the hawk.

It takes about 15 seconds for the video to start after you click on it.

Wow, what a unique observation. Shows the educational benefits of a nest cam! Never would have thought a hawk would be dumb enough to take on an eagle in the eagle's own house, although they regularly harrass eagles flying by their own nests.

Wonder if Dominoes will lend financial support for this web cam considering this "delivery of fresh food" angle?

Amazing video and a very foolish hawk
