Peregrine Falcon vs Crow

*Update* 12/9/22 - After some of the comments pointed out it's a falcon and not a hawk, I spoke to an ornithologist who confirmed it's a juvenile peregrine falcon. Therefore I have changed the title from "Hawk vs Crow" to "Peregrine Falcon vs Crow".

*Update* 8/2/24 - There seems to be a disagreement in the comment section of what kind of a bird it is. It's either called a "accipiter hawk", "sparrowhawk", "merlin falcon" etc. However, I'll stick with what the ornithologist said.

There are a also lot of comments regarding why I disturbed these animals, and my answer to that is that I didn't plan to intervene at all. It's a long time ago now (2015), but I guess I got too excited by the spur-of-the-moment, didn't think, and got too close. That's all. If you get upset, that's okay. I do read your comments and I appreciate your engagement.

Why did you interrupt the birds dinner?

[edwardnosek]

because of this snowman with a camera, a frightened hawk can die under the car.

[Felix.Felicix]

You came too close to them. This would give the falcon too much pressure to give up his prey.

Bro made 2 things
A crow dying from infection and bleed
A falcon dying from starvation

Вы зачем вмешались? Сокол потратил кучу энергии чтобы поймать ворону, как ему сейчас восполнять энергию без еды!!!

The video title should be "Nature vs. stupidly intrusive cameraman".

[BaconFaceMcGee]

I’m just stunned both those birds flew away as if nothing happened.

[swagon]

Nice one, You should just left them alone... By doing what you did.. You nearly got two birds killed by on coming traffic...

[dbyers]

Please people. Do not disturb, interact with or attempt to feed wildlife. You will do the opposite of helping. Watch from a distance & film or photograph but stay back.

Rare footage: rodan and his parent/relative fighting eachother

[scottwalker]

nice vid but why get so close ? let nature do its thing, also because you got so close near the end the hawk almost hits a passing car ! i hope you dont come across a bear attacking a deer...you might get so close the bear may eat keep your distance.

[AlexandrTrukhanov]

Оставлять сокола голодным когда он уже поймал свою добычу - паскудно!

[АндрейЮдин-зэ]

Это молодой Сапсан, которого оставили без еды

[darrylb]

That’s rare to see. But next time keep your distance and just use the zoom on your camera.

[nevaehmiddleton]

Pretty nice that you ruined its meal and almost got it killed by traffic. That was idiotic of you to get that close.

[MarshaNPILoveCanada]

Nobody reads the description. As I guess and of course y'all bombarded the comments.

Bandung, Indonesia.

[Lam-hemj]

So much for crows supporting each other

[mohammad-vct]

Hi and thank you? Where is this location

[uncle-english]

For humans, filming is more important than nature.

[granthallman]

This should be titled "Peregrine Falcon vs Cameraman". You just cost that raptor its meal. Need to stay farther back!
