John Edward Hawkins (November 1, 1969 – May 1, 2006), better known as Big H… Read Full Bio ↴John Edward Hawkins (November 1, 1969 – May 1, 2006), better known as Big Hawk or H.A.W.K was a rapper from Houston, Texas and a founding member of the late DJ Screw's rap group the Screwed Up Click. He was also the older brother of Fat Pat, who was killed in 1998. Hawk, 36, was recently married and had two young sons.

Hawk released his solo album, "Under Hawk's Wings" on Dead End Records in 2000 and had recorded with Lil' Flip, Lil' Keke, Big Moe, Z-Ro and was featured on the Lil' Troy hit "Wanna Be A Baller."

He was respected in the Houston underground rap scene and appeared on numerous mixtapes from artists such as Paul Wall, Lil' Flip, Z-Ro, E.S.G., Lil' Keke and Big Pokey. After Screw's death in 2000, he was the main person responsible for keeping the S.U.C. together, so much so that his nickname was the Five Star General of the Screwed Up Click. He scored a regional hit with 2002's "U Already Know" and was recently featured on the popular single "Swang" by Trae that included a tribute to Fat Pat in 2005. His 2001 self-titled album reached No. 45 on Billboard's list of top R&B and rap albums. In 2006, Hawk, along with Clint Dempsey, aka Deuce, of the U.S. National Soccer team recorded a song for Nike's "Joga Bonito" World Cup soccer promotion called "Don't Tread". He was part of Pepsi's Yahoo! "Houston Mic Pass" with Lil' Flip, Chamillionaire, Trae, Chingo Bling, Bun B, Short Dawg, Magno and Mike D.[1]

Overall Meaning

In H.A.W.K.'s song All the Time, the lyrics describe the hustle and grind it takes to make money by "choppin' blades" or selling drugs. The "blades" are a reference to the razor blades to cut a large block of drugs into smaller pieces for distribution, which is a dangerous and high-risk job, as indicated by the "corners bent" line.

However, in the chorus, the lyrics suggest that all the money made chopping blades truly means nothing if you've never been in love. The song thus highlights the emptiness of material possessions without love, and that true fulfillment comes from building meaningful relationships with others.

The second verse of the song details the singer's desire for love, but also their dedication to their hustle. The persona is conflicted between wanting love and needing their beloved drug-slinging car, or "slab", in their life. But ultimately, the chorus reminds listeners that without love, all the money and things in the world are meaningless.

Overall, H.A.W.K.'s All the Time is a deeply reflective song that speaks to the human desire for love and relationships, and how material possessions can sometimes distract us from what truly matters.

@Golden Scar yes they are invasive, but they have expressed tremendous memory, and other high level cognitive skills such as pattern recognition and creative problem solving. Some corvid experts postulate crows may be as intelligent and as aware as a 7 year old human! Sure they can be invasive, but humans account feeding crows and having their families recognize them. If they go to a national forest a lot the crows will announce your arrival, sometimes bring you shiny things (like a button or ring), tell other animals you are good shit!

(Crows will warn the game and scare them off when they CAW CAW CAW. That's the sound of an intruder or someone dangerous)

They have been known to show wolves where food is, and hunt in tandem, the wolves allowing crows to take pickings

The crow and Raven are also deep esoteric symbols of death fertility and rebirth

Sorry I guess I'm biased in this discussion 🥺 God bless!

Love em!

Either a hawk swooped down at it and the cat grabbed it or a Cooper’s Hawk was on the ground hunting for birds and it ambushed it, though that would be around bushes. It also could have been a bigger hawk such as a Red-Tailed grabbing a Cooper’s or a Great Horned Owl will take a hawk including Ospreys sleeping in their nests. Eagles too. If a cat had killed it there probably would have been more than wings and a mess of feathers. Do you mean the whole wings? Are you saying no head, no beak or any other body part?

A Red-Tailed Hawk’s wingspan is 3 ft. The Cooper’s are smaller. I don’t get how just the wings would be left. Coyotes and wolves can kill hawks.

A cat going after a hawk is pretty dangerous because raptors lie on their backs and kick with their talons. I heard some talk about a dog killing a hawk that had tried to get one of her pups. The dog’s mouth was much bigger than a cat’s.

I saw a video of an owl that had a squirrel in a grassy area and a large cat was headed towards it so the owl let go of the squirrel and flew off and the squirrel in a panic ran in the direction of the cat and the cat got it. ): Whether the cat was curious or saw it as an intruder, I don’t know, but cats have gotten them on the ground when they’re mantling their prey.

Aside: Our pets are a menace to the ecosystem. Feral cats seem to be everywhere and stupid people feed them and they kill millions of birds. Dog poop is bad especially near waterways and they can spread canine distemper to raccoons, foxes, coyotes, etc.

That iguana tail is like a bull whip and then some.
Imagine a whip, then a whip powered by muscle that can enhance the speed of that whip even after the motion is started.

The thought was that the tail whip was initiated by the proximal portion of the tail and the distal portion of the tail was flaccid as the wave rushes through tail. They thought this because it was assumed that it was impossible for motor units to react quickly enough to aid in the whip. The loop of the whip after all is breaking the sound barrier. So the muscle fibers would have to contract at a rate faster than that. Understandably it’s hard to believe.

So they stuck EMG needles into the iguanas tail. Lo and behold, that tail was contracting at almost 1/2 to 2/3s down the length of the tail pending the iguana and the attempt. After the initiation at the proximal tail.

Now, the theory is that these contractions are reflexive. Which makes sense. Volitional movement has to travel from the brain to the motor unit. But reflex loops are initiated, in this case, by the motor unit above which sends a cascading reflex down the iguana’s tail. So the signal doesn’t have to be sent from brain to tail. The motor unit above ‘trips’ the reflex.

To be clear, the whip is initiated by the tail-meaning it’s volitional movement, then becomes reflexive at the distal portions of the tail.

Meaning that tail whip is not just a whip, it’s a super whip enhanced by muscle contractions nearly all the way down.

Well, I thought it was cool.

That iguana tail whip could absolutely break a bird of prey’s hollow wing bone if it landed right.

Hawks are incredibly intelligent. I'm in Florida and have several that live around the area. There's one in particular that comes flying in everytime he hears me crank up the riding lawn mower. He'll follow me around the property from tree to tree watching the ground closely as the lawnmower sends lizards and the occasional snake scurrying away. He swoops right in and grabs them up. He understands that the mower means lunch is served.

I was in my driveway and standing by my car just about to open the door. I heard something and looked and a hawk was flying right toward my just a couple feet above my head. It's eyes were focused and it was carrying a dove in its claws. As it flew over the dove was looking right at me on the way to it's death. I felt like I could actually see fear in it's eyes. It's one of the most unforgettable things I've ever seen. It was disturbing to see the difference in the two birds as they passed by me.

I work with these birds daily, and several of these examples are extremely rare, starting with cats and dogs. They also mentioned a hawk killing a 5 pound snake. While that is definitely possible, don’t confuse killing with flying with 5 pounds. The heaviest hawk in the USA is the Ferruginous hawk, and the largest ones don’t quite reach 5 pounds, and they certainly aren’t flying with that much weight.

Idk how rare it is. All I know is I caught 2 hawks in my coup today. They killed a chicken but they weren’t able to feast. I scared them away, I’m sure they where hungry/desperate because not even an hour later when my dog was outside to pee they came back and swooped at her, one of them cut her pretty deep. She’s only 5 lbs. I’m sure they could have killed her instantly if I wasn’t there. Anyways, now I’m researching hawks.

I live in a rural département in France where i get to see many birds of prey looking like the absolute royal birds they are, often perched on telephone wires or posts, and at an occasion on a farmer post, at window level (and he was unphased by my car passing near it). They are so majestic i risk crashing into someone else looking at them lol.

Recently one of them almost hit my car but his keen eye made him take a quick turn away, and as i slowed down too nothing bad happened. He just had caught some rodent and witnessing it that close was a great moment of that day

My family and I raised a baby sparrow hawk some years back. It had fallen from its nest along with its two siblings, it was the only one that lived through the fall. We fed it raw meat until it was fully grown, then released it. The first thing it did was to fly up and land in a tree, which made all the birds around go crazy. For a few years afterward, we would see it occasionally in the spring and summer flying around our house.

@CutsieFace McGee, If it had come back and landed near us I would have kept feeding it, but it needed to be free to fly and hunt as it wished. It was an awesome experience to be its caretaker and I actually was somewhat surprised that it lived and grew up enough to be on its own.

So are hawks immune to the poison from certain snake bites? I constantly see videos and in real life where snakes do make contact when biting but the hawk is completely unfazed by it.

The hawk at 12:04 dive bombing was actually pretty cool looking.

I've seen first hand where a seagull kept packing at a flying hawk over and over and over and over. It was kind of a situation where if it was humans doing that I was waiting for the hawk to turn around and punch the seagull in the face. Finally the hawk did a full on fighter pilot move from the movie Top Gun and slowed way down and the seagull flew right past it. Once that happened it was the hawk that turned the tables and (to get to the point) grabs it midair, flies to the ground and slams it on the ground. There was a large body of water and the hawk went to it and literally drowned the seagull, defeathered it and flew off with it. Coolest thing I've ever seen.

The coopers hawk is my favorite. I have a lot of stories about them, I will tell one. I was bow hunting deer in mainly large pines with thick undergroth which had thinned some being in Janurary. Everyone knows how jumpy squirrels are. Hunters also listen for their chatter as possible approaching deer. So about 20 yards away, I have corn on the ground and small songbirds with squirrels feeding. I'm scanning the woods and I happened to be looking down, if not I would have missed it. A coopers hawk came through the woods from behind me as they always do at maximum speed. It was so fast that when it came over and missed it's squirrel or bird, they never even saw it. So fast they didn't see it! The most impressive thing was a tangle of honeysuckle hung from the pines and it tucked it's wings went through the small space and disappeared weaving through the woods. I would estimate the speed at around 60 mph because that around 30 yards per seond and the distance i could see it. In the same place years before that I had one see my hat and apparently thinking it was something come for it and me moving suddenly scaring it off.

Let's call them raptors, the common name for all birds of prey. Birds of prey seen in this clip are not all hawks. Some are eagles, and the ospray, even though it's known by the name sea hawk, is neither a hawk or an eagle...

@insideoutsideupsidedown2218

Chicken hawk is the Kestrel

@alokinchi

3y↑3

@InsideOutside UpsideDown No. Kestrels are too small to catch chickens and nowhere (or at least nowhere that I know) are they known as chicken hawks. I mean even pigeons are too big a prey for a kestrel. I'd be celebrating if they caught pigeons where I live. Instead they live side by side. The kestrels mainly catch insects, small birds like sparrows for instance, other small animals like bats, lizards and such... And the pigeons... well they clutter the building with their droppings (Yuck!!!)... "Chicken hawk" in the US is an obsolete name for a few species of hawk including the red-tailed hawk. Worldwide, in some countries, the northern goshawk is also known as "chicken hawk", and in Eurasia the Eurasian (Northern) Sparrowhawk is also called "chicken hawk" in some countries. It is not a scientifically recognized name for any particular species of bird of prey.

I remember from my childhood how hawk raided our country side farm, hens and roosters were lifted away to their nest or killed on sight. But hawk did quite patient and with a smart tactic which gave him a lot of success. He knew that in a group of hens and roosters around the farm building, in case of threat they can easily hide inside and there was a dog as a guard against predators and unwlcome animals. Once they split or dog step away from the crowd, hawk immediately came down like a bullet and that was end to the hen/rooster. Sometimes I wondered, how much hawk is able to lift..

@josephavalos7894

About 5 lbs if it's a Red-tail hawk which are often what preys on chickens. Or about 1.5-2 times their weight.

I love bird watching. There is so many hawks and bald eagles in CO.
I watched about 10 crows try and chase down a hawk and they cornered it in the big backyard tree by canal and then the hawk just jetted out and the crows couldn't keep up with it. They almost had the hawk though.

The feral cat in my yard actually made a meal out of a big hawk. All I saw was a pair of pretty big wings left. All the cats caught by hawks must have been house cats. But feral cats are a different proposition. They are not fed and have to learn to catch their own food , and hawks apparently could be on their menu.

@josephavalos7894

What did the wings look like as far as color etc?

@tomsd8656

@Joseph Avalos Not a red shoulder hawk, that I can tell, other than that, it's pretty standard color. I couldn't identify the hawk, only that those wings belonged to a pretty big hawk. I saw the feral cat that frequented my back yard and killed countless other birds, to the point there was no bird in my yard anymore. I actually didn't see the cat getting the hawk, but there's no other predator in my yard, so it's just an assumption.

@josephavalos7894

sd sounds like it quite possibly was a Red-tail hawk based on your description and the widespread commonality of that hawk.

When i was in mojave desert 2 years ago i have witnessed an eagle chasing a raven on the Air like watching a dogfight of jets 8n the air. Spectacular scene,but the eagle prevails as expected.

@elgandos2

That's awesome man, that brought back a similar memory I have. About 13ish years ago when I was in high school, I was walking home one day down the sidewalk, and I saw a red-tailed hawk chasing two songbirds. I stopped and they flew right at me. One songbird was faster than the other and he flew past me, but the other one was grabbed by the hawk, who brought him to the ground, and they literally slid across the grass and came to a stop on the sidewalk about 5 feet in front of me. What was even more crazy, both the hawk and the songbird, who was being squeezed by the talons, looked right at me and we all froze for a second before the hawk flew off, carrying the bird lmao. The little bird had such a desperate looks on its face too, like he was asking me to save him. I almost forgot about that, thanks for reminding me haha

We have a pair of Red Tailed hawks out here in North Phoenix that have been hunting in my backyard for about a month now. Each and every day, they swoop down and grab a quail or a dove, or even a pigeon.....I got video of one that got a pigeon.. I was 8 feet away, and the hawk was just killing the pigeon with its talons, all the while looking at me and bobbing its head from side to side. It was almost as if the hawk was saying, "whatcha gonna do about it" It was incredible. After about 1 minute of me taking video, it flew up and over our fence. Then just today, I had a bunch of doves in my backyard eating off the quail block, and one of the red tailed swooped down, and scattered the doves.. It did not get a dove, but one of the doves flew into my sliding glass door and broke its neck. I did not have the screen shut which I should have. Felt terrible about it.. Anyways, this is a daily event here in my backyard. So we have removed all the quail block and bird feeders for a few days to see if the hawks will move on elsewhere

I was on the top deck of a double decker in Cardiff and the sparrow hawk came out of the blue and took the pigeon right in front of the bus, When the bus drove away he flew back up into the tree at the side of the road giving us a great view of him and when the bus in front pulled away the pigeon was on the floor no more for this world.

i remember when i was in basic training for the army. we were taking a rest during one of our ruck marches. it was on the return trip when we all sat down for a mre meal. the drill sergeant was talking to us fairly informally as he started sharing stories from his time in the army infantry. as he was sharing he points to the sky and says "that right there is a cooper hawk. perhaps its here to pick up jenkins for lunch. hahaha" he said prodding at the small woman (maybe 90 pounds sopping wet). as he finishes the hawk dove to the ground and grabbed a red fox squirrel that was trying to inch closer to us to grab scraps. carried it to a tree and tore the poor bastard apart right in front of us. most of us thought it was pretty cool, a few female soldiers did not. was a good time. then we rucked the rest of the 8 miles home. there were few things i enjoyed in the army but moments like that will last a lifetime.

You mislabeled a bunch of these clips. For instance that was a Gyr Falcon attacking the Canadian Goose; and the Peregrine Falcon took the bird out of midair as is their m.o. ; and you called a Red-shouldered hawk a Red-tail when you can see its black and white banded tail; and the one Red-shouldered hawk you did identify was an adult with full adult plumage, not a juvenile.

ten different predators appear viewers comment on the power and technique, regardless of whether there is an eagle or a hawk in the video.Sad, very sad.

@Dmx035 I definitely am a raptor spotter. All birds not as much. I like the boss birds I like to say, because out there they are respected the most. But they also get a lot of shit, when they're alone other birds mob them, and from the time they are young, some birds try to knock them out of the nest, just so it is one less raptor (predator) as opposed to one more. I have observed some cool stuff tracking hawks (mostly). I have seen a Red-shouldered hawk adult male grab a 3 ft snake (rat snake I believe) right off of the bank of a crick, I was like 25 feet away from where he dove and snatched it up, and then flew right over me, shrieking its victory call. It's addictive to me as a former addict.

@davidc1450

The one bird kill in the air was a falcon. There is a nest nearby where I live and I have seen a few kills. The only thing you find later is blood and feathers.

I figured chicken had to be number one on the list .. I have seen time and again a hawk grab and fly off with quite a few of my grandpa's chickens when I was a child .. Hawks love chicken , and they make hunting both on land and in the sky so easy .. But I'm certain it isn't as easy as it seems .. A guy was showing me his mouse he had caught .. I suppose he was going to keep it as a pet .. He held the mouse up to show me .. And when he did , a hawk flew down , grabbed the mouse out of his hand , and kept right on flying , without even missing a beat .. It was as if the hawk was saying , 'Thanks , I'll take that .."
I had no favorite part in the video .. They were all amazing to me .. These type of birds go ham on food they enjoy eating .. Another bird that loves chicken is an eagle .. And snake too ..

Humans with pets should stand their grounds create a territory, just like any other animal & protect the littlest pets from aerial assaults, create a mesh cage or don't allow them outside at all.

PS: Especially those with large pets, if your dog can't fight for its own life when your asleep or away from home, it should not be outside without your supervision.

@Mr.CliffysWorld

Most places in the U. S. A. It is illegal for your dog to be loose & unsupervised. If your dog is not in your home then it must be contained to your property by a fence or a tether, by law, to leave your property the dog has to be on a leash and kept under control by a person .
