Bald Eagle vs Peregrine Falcon

This is the true nature of Yellowstone National Park, wild and untamed. In this video, an immature peregrine falcon attacks a bald eagle not once or twice but nine times. Bald eagles are amazing parents. Last year, two eaglets fledged, and when I visited the nest this year, two young eaglets were in the nest. At the time of the recording, the eaglets had not branched. The video was recorded from a distance since the Yellowstone River acts as a natural barrier. Enjoy this incredible footage!

The Falcon is a badass bird. She have the courage to attack big bold Eagle in his territory. For Falcon every flying bird is a prey, size doesn't matter for her.

What an amazing capture of this. The music makes one be on edge watching these two actually fighing in the sky. I was on edge the entire video. Really appreciate this being shared.

As I was aware of the Peregrine's reputation already, I'm really impressed by the eagle's awareness and reactions. It flips upside down to defend itself right at the critical moment.

yes, the peregrine falcon is a worthy adversary! this is the first time I see such an eagle's defense. he interestingly maneuvers his wings. peregrine falcon smaller than an eagle - nimble, fast...

The smaller one in the video is not a peregrine falcon, it's probably an osprey.

The soundtrack is epic by the way can we possibly get a name of this song

This is great photography of our majestic bald eagle and an adversary competing for territory🦅 My ❤ was pounding while watching this! Thank you so much for sharing ❣🦅

That's definitely not a peregrine or any other falcon. It's not shaped like a falcon, it does fly like a falcon and it doesn't attack like a falcon. It's flight is far too buoyant to be a peregrine. It looks like a harrier.

Size doesn’t matter. Bullet is also small, but dealdy.
More important what those two birds thinking while meeting each other.
Falcon thinks - Oh I’ve got food.
Eagle thinks - Damn, danger….abort.

Can't tell it it's edited or real?

[wastelander]

I look at bald eagles like the big world's strongest men. And I look at falcons like Mohammed Ali fast and light both powerful and beautiful animals

[tothgabor]

Not a peregrine falcon. Maybe a red-tailed buzzard.

You need more work on your bird ID, Based on it's size, wingbeats and coloration, the eagles opponent is an ospery
