Thanks to the commenters who corrected me! It's a GOLDEN EAGLE and not a hawk! I appreciate you!

👍How to be a respectful visitor to these places👍
Native American groups still live in this area and beyond today. These places are still special and hold significance.
1️⃣Don't climb on walls or structures. Don't lean on or climb over them. Many places don't even need to be visited up close. View these places from a distance or with binoculars.
2️⃣Do not touch the rock art. Don't touch or create new rock art to preserve ancient stories.
3️⃣ Leave All Artifacts. Leave artifacts and structures undisturbed to maintain their historical significance. It is illegal and wrong to take artifacts. If you want something to take home, support local tribes by buying their handicrafts and jewelry.
4️⃣ Manage Waste Responsibly. Use waste bags; don't leave human or pet waste behind. Don't 'go' near cultural sites.
5️⃣ Camp With Care. Don't camp near historical sites. No fires near these areas, and ensure all waste is packed out. Don't make fires in caves or alcoves. Camp in designated spots only. When you leave, make sure to make the site cleaner and better than when you found it. Pick up extra trash you may see.
6️⃣ Control Your Pets. Don't let pets roam freely near archaeological areas to prevent destruction. Pets are not allowed in or near sites.
7️⃣ Preserve Fragile Areas. Don't disturb fossils and please protect delicate soil and plant life.
8️⃣ Follow Rules. Don't engage in illegal actions such as building cairns, or using climbing gear to access archaeological sites.
9️⃣ Obey Drone Rules and Laws. Numerous locations in the American Southwest and beyond, such as the Navajo Reservation, Wilderness Study Areas, and various restricted spaces, enforce strict drone usage prohibitions. It is crucial to not only honor the legacy of the people who once inhabited these areas but also show respect for the present-day residents and adhere to their local laws, customs and regulations.

NOTE: I don't claim that I am the first person to "discover" these places. I just find things on Google Earth and want to go see what they are!
I do not claim to be an expert on anthropology, geology, or archaeology. I say that my channel is about "amateur archaeology". I don't have a degree or formal training in archaeology. I am just a hiker who loves to explore and see new things especially the ancient history in the American Southwest. This is what my channel is about. I hope you stick around and explore with me!
I do not give out locations to the places in my videos. I take seriously the responsibility to protect and respect these ancient places. If you do find/visit one of these locations, please visit respectfully. I try my best to hide noticeable landmarks, mountains, and canyons in my videos.

This old game warden is 100% sure it was a golden eagle.
Yes, I saw one a few days ago. 👍
Ayep
100% Golden indeed. Makes the video even cooler.
And that was a mating pair, I'm sure. Just caught both of the parents home at the same time.👍
Wow!!! That’s so cool!
Close ups of architecture and wildlife- score!
yeah, this kid is good
Brave Mama and Daddy eagles protecting their babies from something that was probably very scary.
This isn't a Hawk. This is a Golden Eagle. Hawks are much smaller and do not nest in pairs. Eagles mate for life. Good drone footage. Wonderful seeing a healthy pair of Golden Eagles in the desert.
How wonderful that the Golden Eagles wanted to protect their eggs or hatchlings from the all seeing eye of the drone. Nature is so marvelous! That ledge with the rock building looked very hard to have gotten up to. Thank you for sharing your video with us all.👍😀👍😀👍
I don't think they cared about who looked, as much as "What the Hell are you doing over our airspace?" And they didn't break off the Golden Eagle attack till the skies were free of intruders!
Love the wildlife encounters part of these treks. They add that "feeling there" to the videos.
I think the whole point of building shelters in those inaccessible cracks was that enemies would find it very challenging to get to their families!
@@joycebrewer4150 : yes I agree with you but imagine trying to keep a young child from falling, that would be extremely challenging especially if they had a very hyperactive kid like my son was.
That is a golden eagle, not a hawk. They are at least twice as big as an average red tailed hawk.
I got to see one fairly close up while fishing in northern Ontario. After having seen tons of bald eagles all week, it looked like a freakin' monster as it soared on by us, about 30ft up from the water. Absolutely glorious.
*Love the AI recreation of the stone building!*
Yep confirmed it's an eagle. Awesome catch!
@@1nvisible1 It wasn't AI. it was done by hand with photographic software. Maybe Photoshop?
Definitely going to update the title now! haha thanks for the clarification!
That was a golden eagle!
Your reconstruction of the building was great!
I would love to see a collab with you and desert drifter, I know you inspired him and you guys together could tell such a great story of your find!
I agree. I think you two would have fun together.
Beautiful Golden Eagle!!!!
It's so great that you appreciate your viewers input as much as we appreciate your adventures! That golden eagle footage was great.
Loved seeing the birds! A plus on top of seeing the ruins.
Wow they did not want the “intruder” near their nest. That was incredible. Thank you for sharing. Blessings
Oh! I also like how you recreated the structure!
Great Ruin - Fantastic Drone Views and Eagle Attacking Drone - wow - this Segment was Exciting - Good One Indeed ! Thanks You and many Cheers from Australia !!!!
Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching! 🙂
Hey buddy we watch you all the time and we try to watch the videos always all the way to the end and like them too
👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you, Jerry! That means so much to me! 🙂
That was an incredible video .
Thanks for sharing.
Your drone skills are next level! Kudos.
Thank you for being respectful not just of the land, but also of the air space.
Your drone ability far exceeds other people's. I love your programs for evaluating the rock art and ancient sites.
My favorite hiking creator by far.
Wow, unforgettable experience with those hawks! I love the ruin recreation, even with the "inaccurate" ladder. It's fun to imagine what things used to be!
Great spotting!!! Hawk/eagle eye Jeff!!!! Love the recreation of what it might have looked like! Great video! Terrifically done, art! Amazing to see, and this might be a way to do more exploring without heat exhaustion this summer. Thank you!!!!
Thank you for advocating the protection of these places, and for being considerate of those protected Golden Eagles! What an interesting and unexpected adventure!
More fun!!! Thanks Jeff…for taking me places I’d never get to go….
Amazing the eagles wow thanks for always sharing incredible footage of these ancient places. ❤
Thanks for another great video. It gives me the opportunity to see parts of our beautiful country that otherwise I could only wish I could visit. The Big Bird visit was quite interesting. Stay safe and God Bless
Excellent. The re-build software was amazin
Seconded this, he needs to do this with all the ruins! It’s fun to speculate.
I will be doing this more often! It may not be 100% accurate, of course, but we can at least get an idea! Thanks for watching
I love going on these expeditions with you. Thanks.
Jeff, great channel. Just keeps getting better. Thank you.
Thank you kindly! Thanks for being here with me!
The eagles were a wow moment! Another wow moment was you using your new software to “rebuild” the structure to show what it could have looked like, very cool Jeff!
Great job on the reconstruction - you have a good eye and your interpretation will be much closer than anything I could imagine.
Thisnis probably my favorite video to date. That eagle was amazing.
OMG that hawk looked magnificent in attack mode. How many people can say they've even seen that from that angle up in the air. Thank-you so much for sharing! Love your work, Jeff.
Another great trek Jeff, and a special one with the surprise ruins find and the eagle attack! Thanks!
Loves seeing the Hawks. That was quite an adventure. Thank you Jeff.
Great no damage to the drone. Brave eagles going beast mode. Thanks Jeff.
I find it amazing that people living in cliff dwellings raised children in such a precarious location. It really makes me wonder about the nature of the threats they faced. It also makes me entertain the idea of dinosaurs and giants. Great stuff. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
Another fun adventure. That drone is pretty resilient. I'm surprised the hawk didn't destroy it.
THose eagles were fantastic! And so was your computer recreation. I would love to see more of those.
Thank you for sharing 2 in one the beautiful ruins and the hawks❤.
Another amazing discovery. Loved your imagined rendition of what the structure might have looked like. Do more of this!!?? Glad you didn't lose your drone to the Golden Eagle pair, and that you showed the respect to back it off and away from their territory. Seeing the raptors was amazing in itself!
Cool! Both bird attack and dwellings. Glad your drone is ok.
❤ Thanks. That cliffside looked very promising for additional former dwellings, like in the center at 6:35. But thank you so much for caring about the eagles! Maybe go back another time.
What a great eye you have! Loved the video and thank you for sharing!
Wow, amazing ruin! And FYI: I believe those were golden eagles. Incredible birds!
Wow!Really cool! 👍🥳🌷
You were doubly blessed. The ruins are a treasure, but protective birds of prey are messengers from God. You gave everyone the message for people to look and appreciate from a distance, but do not disturb. and be careful not to leave your prints at or on these ancient sites. Thank you for this video because it is x-tra special. Happy your drone survived the wings of protection.
Totally, absolutely awesome!
Absolutely awesome video!
Thank you again for sharing your adventures.
Thank you for this incredible video. The digital reconstruction is fascinating! Please make more of those 😊
Fantastic! Thank You. The hawk footage was a special treat!
Great adventure
Oh wow😍such an great video. Thx❤️👋🇫🇮
Full screen I watch these adventures. The hawks were like crazy. Protecting their area from noisy drones.
Got to love how protective animal parents can be of there young, just be glad it was your drone and not you.
People need to remember how truly important and amazing these old structures actually are and the thought that went into choosing each location.
We 2 went climbing in area we hadn’t climbed in a long time. Even before we reached the area we got buzzed by falcons, also protecting its nesting site. My climbing partner had his material hat whipped away & while we were climbing the birds kept on attacking us. We completed the climb under a lip which brought us out on a shelf then the top. Well, were attached once again. Thank goodness we had the hard shells of the climbing helmets as the birds knew that was the vulnerable spot!
Thanks for the show, also good.
Love the reconstruction. Keep doing that.
Awesome shots of the birds!!!
Your editing and recreation has gotten great! Super videos, man! Stay hydrated and watch out for the wildlife! Keep'em coming!
Golden Eagle ! 🦅 🤍
Once again marvelous tks
You get to keep more than you may realize, you get your own personal view into these ancient people's lives and how they lived... To me, thats pretty special and not something many get.
That was amazing, I just can't imagine how the ancients managed to build structures on the ledges of cliffs. I don't believe anyone could do that in this day and age. I think we have become soft 😊.
Magical Mystery Tour…
Nice aerial intercept recovery
Another awesome historic find and that eagle up close… how cool! If you are trekking out in this heat please be safe. I’m in southern Nevada and it is hotter than heck right now! 🥵
That was an eagle. Federally protected. Great video
Amazing structures and the hawks were cool, too. I'm glad your drone is okay.
Definitely always an adventure!
The eagles in flight were a bonus!
I love your digital reconstruction. This is the kind of thing I like to play around with, too!
To think that those Hawks are possibly related decended to the Hawks that lived there when the natives were originally living at that location. That we be incredibly amazing! Thank you for sharing your experiences!
That was a very mature Golden Eagle
Now you know I don't see those very often! lol I learned something new!
The "insomniacs' special"😂
Sorry for posting so late! haha
Wow! A GOLDEN EAGLE!
Spectacular ruins--great find! And I absolutely loved the unexpected hawk (or golden eagle) encounter. Lol
I was wrong (which happens very often LOL) about it being a hawk!
What great "bird from a drone" footage!
Then doubly good good find on the TWO new locations.
I think you could 3D model them, and take each piece of wood, one by one,
and forensically reconstruct its location in the building, from it's current downhill location.
Just a thought; try it with the longest first and see where they would fit most appropriately.
Would be like reverse engineering done on electronics,
but on reconstructing a 700 YO possibly previously unknown historic site.
I like how you teach respect for these sites.
I think they're Golden Eagles, too, legs are very yellow. Beautiful "menacing flight" shots, kinda rare.
I wouldn't want to have to tangle with them!
(I sure do wish I had your energy.)
Best adventures ahead!
GREAT DRONE WORK WITH INFO THANKS FOR SHARING. TAKE CARE WHILE EXPLORING THESE PLACES
Hawks are badass!
WONDERING? "Were there MONSTERS, BELOW?"
So the golden eagle takes the Emmy this week! Visually, anyhow. I must say I thoroughly enjoyed your narrative this week! I am a true fan. I watch every week. I sense your trouble when it comes to inserting a speculation as no archeologist. This time, though you sounded like us in the comments using phrases like “I wonder” and the historical comparisons offered. But….this week my favorite by far was the digital reconstruction ❤❤❤. Nice job, Jeff!
That’s an adult golden eagle. Can’t mistake that face!
I absolutely love your channel and the message you put out about leaving these Sacred Sites alone
The new software is neat in recreating a "possible" structure.
Excellent, Thanks.
I widh you were close to big bend tx. Awsome history in that lonely place..
The Natives were not only excellent builders/engineers but climbers too
wow great capture!!!!!!
We have Bald Eagles here in South Carolina. There is a nesting pair in the woods behind our home.
Looks like the eagles didn't want company lol!
Thank you for the video 🍁🌸🌿🦅
Aloha Jeff, great!
Very cool. Besides all the good things others say about you, you’re a pretty good drone pilot as well. I would have been afraid to get my drone that close in. Well done!
much love - ty for these awesome vids - and respect for you
Pretty cool Jeff! I have to compliment your photo retouching, nice job…maybe a little work on the ladder, but hey… I can’t even imagine Golden Eagles attacking your drone! You do fly that thing well!
I saw a hawk take down a drone once. Dive bombed it.
I noticed your Cebu hat! Is that the city in the Phillipines? Nice, place and great food. The people were great!!!😎👍
The Diné built all those sikos for corn storage. No doors, small windows. Anasazi, Freemont people the ancients in Green River UT area all became Navajo people. You do a great service visiting our ancient spots. Dinétah is what the area is called. Hovenweap.
The ancient ones put the stones in baskets and pulled them up. They had ropes, they knew how to weave. They would never have carried the stones up one by one, baskets would full every time. If the stones were big maybe one by one. Having clean water and food through hard times allowed people to live in hostile environments. To keep their food away from animals it is better high on a cliff, it also keeps it away from instant flood zones. I love the eagle 🦅 footage. Great video footage! Thank you!!!!
woah hahhaa totally wild and cool !
