Patriot Down !

I was flying my Patriot today, and after I landed, the nose wheel collapsed and it veered off into the grass. A few seconds later as I was walking toward the plane, a hawk (I think it's a hawk) landed on the left wing! Everybody told me that he was following me all the way onto final. By the time someone got my camera and handed it to me, another hawk came in and landed in front of the plane, then the first one jumped at him and the second one flew off. I was able to get this picture before he flew away. His wingspan was every bit as big as my plane, which is about 50 inches. Fortunately, he didn't dig his talons into the wing! Evidently he thought that he was going to eat a BIG meal today!
