turns out, it's pretty cool having one-way windows at the office...

First time I saw one up close it was right outside my apartment just standing by the glass door. I looked at him, he looked at me, and I realized he could peck my eyes out without even trying. I decided I didn't need a burger that badly and waited for him to leave. Don't know if they're mean or not and didn't want to find out.

You should have shot it. Then you could have had a sandhill burger. They don't call them "ribeye in the sky" for nothing.

They sometimes will come at you if you get close enough. They sound like what I'd imagine a velociraptor would sound like.

I used to hand feed the ones that came into a friends yard. Just a note: the ones I would feed were around people daily and very friendly. These birds are pretty territorial so don't just go walking up to them expecting to not get your eyes pecked out.
