Striated Caracara

Checking if my hat is edible. The male had just taken it off my head and the female attacked too, felt like getting hit by a hammer. The bird gashed my ear quite badly luckily no eye damage.
They also ran at me and were close to attacking me again until using my camera as a defense I withdrew from their territory. Only the second bird to draw blood from me - the other? Arctic Tern.
