A Peregrine Falcon Hunts A Duck
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
Over the past three years I have had the privilege of working with master falconer, Matt Mitchell in New Mexico, recording what his birds can do. Filming falconry birds offers shots that would be very difficult to obtain in the wild, such as the falcon stooping after prey. The opening scene in this video, however was completely wild, as this male Peregrine did not appreciate me being near the nest.
This video contains scenes of hunting and may be disturbing to some viewers.

This brings back childhood memories. Back in the late 60’s my dad had prairie falcons out in NW Nebraska. Amazing birds. I still have the hoods. Amazing bird. 👍
I watched a Peregrine Falcon knocking a Pintail out of the air, landing on it, killing it and beginning to feed, at Bosque del Apache. I have stills of the feeding.
beautiful footage.
Wonderful film, bravo 👏👏

Thank you.
Indeed what a great catch..❤..
See a peregrine falcon do its best impersonation of the St. Louis Gateway Arch! 😀
Why cut it off in the middle of catching it?
They are called Duck Hawks, after all.
Magnificent animal
I'm glad you don't hobble the pigeons or give the falcon an unfair advantage from the start.

No, Matt's pigeons are experts. He often demonstrates the "hunt" to birding and photography groups, and if really threatened, the pigeons dive under someone's car.
Beautiful bird with good skills. I have been hunting with 2 spparowhawks and a goshawk since last 3 years but mine birds never got a good drake. The quarry is very challenging as they never fly too far from water surface and quickly dive into water.

I noticed another thing on a different day with this same falcon. After a couple of pigeon chases the bird got very tired. A duck came by and was easily able to out-fly the falcon, who couldn't keep up with it.
Incrível parabens. Grande abraço Brasil
