  Hi Bird Professor. Thanks for the comment. I saw a few of the videos on your site. Very nice, too. They remind me of stuff I shot when I lived in Florida. It's a pleasure to know that you are out there doing this--there are so few of us shooting bird video these days. Best of luck. Steve

  Hi KP. This 16 year old video was shot with a little Sony Handicam consumer camcorder. I had no special lens, I just cranked it up to full optical telephoto. It was mounted on a Gitzo Studex tripod with a 2007 vintage Manfrotto video head. A lot of this was luck.

  That is not why they fly in formation, it’s to gain more efficiency in flight.

  @RavenOnTheMountain11 ай бұрын

  As you know, waterfowl (ducks, geese, swans) fly in carefully spaced formations of lines or "V"s in order to save energy and take advantage of favorable air movements from the preceding bird. Shorebirds form up in a large, loose flock of scores to hundreds of birds. Their constant wheeling and direction change, flashing first dark backs, then light bellies is confusing to any raptor trying to snatch one. Corcoran and Hedrick (2019) analyzed extensive data on position, speed and spacing in single species and mixed species shorebird flocks. Although they favored an energy saving hypothesis, and even postulated what they called "compound V" structures, their data were so complex and difficult to work with that they could not conclude that any definite energy efficiency was obtained in these flocks. The question remains unsettled. elifesciences.org/articles/45071

  An 8 minute intro to the Coopers that has solid facts and is a well-balanced presentation good for anyone wanting to understand these hawks. Great footage and eye candy for a falconer. Surmise you are Eastern US from the features of the birds, what state/area? Video so good it felt like I was at a nest.

  Super cool video, but I'm not entirely sure if a Canada goose would be too big for a peregrine if they were both in the air. I'm only saying this because I saw a video of a peregrine knocking some kind of pelican out of the sky with its punch. And if I'm wrong, feel free to correct me.

• 
  @RavenOnTheMountain Жыл бұрын

  I think you are right, peregrines aren't known to take geese very often, if at all. Gyrfalcons, on the other hand, take small geese (snows and white-fronted). Believe it or not, a big Canada Goose can weigh over 12 lbs, while the average Brown Pelican weighs 8.

  A large experienced female peregrine falcon is capable off hitting a goose in the neck and bringing it down,dead, if she had the height and accuracy. She would rake it with her large ‘thumb’ talon as she stoops down from a great height.
