Molly Lands and Swoops From My Camera

Well, for the first time ever, Molly has landed on my camera! What ended up happening is when I blew my whistle, she decided not to swoop on my chicken gizzard as I moved my hand out of the way. Then I decided to take it away and move further along the fence. I was out of the hawk's view, and when I blew my whistle the 2nd time, she saw my thermos and a plastic bag filled with chicken hearts. So she decided to fly onto my camera. I ended up throwing the chicken gizzard instead of setting it down, and she flew right above me on the fence before grabbing it!

Unfortunately I was not able to repeat the same results with Mikey. I just had the set the gizzard on the fence and walk away before blowing my whistle. After he grabbed it, he flew far away behind the trees to eat, whereas Molly flew somewhat near the trees!

I only filmed Mikey from the trees at the beginning of the video. When Molly landed on my camera, it caused the camera to tilt down, and Mikey was out of the frame.
