The bird of prey attacked the Phantom 4 Pro Advanced quodcopter drone about 162 feet in the sky on July 21, "tearing off a propeller and sending the aircraft to the bottom of Lake Michigan," according to the state Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy.
"The attack could have been a territorial squabble with the electronic foe, or just a hungry eagle," the department said.

I flew along some cliffs taking video, and when I reviewed the video, there were 2 hawks sitting in a tree close to where I was headed. Apparently they weren't bothered much by my quadcopter.
