Peregrine Falcon Attacks Pelicans! #shorts

This Peregrine Falcon is attacking these pelicans because they were flying through the airspace near her nesting area. Sometimes this Peregrine Falcon mama just sits there watching birds fly by, but when she’s in the mood she goes into full attack mode and is ruthless! Wish I could say that no animals were injured during the making of this video, but I’m honestly not sure. What I can tell you is that none of the pelicans seemed to be severely injured and were able to fly off.

Sorry about how hectic this video is. I’m still learning how to keep these fast moving birds in the frame. 😅 This was filmed at 120fps (4x slow motion) and it isn’t even slow enough for these fast flying falcons.

CAMERA EQUIPMENT USED:
Canon EOS R5 with Canon RF 100-500mm lens

This is like a Messerschmitt BF 109 chasing a B-17 bomber

Size and strength doesn’t matter, the attitude matters this Mom proved it.

[kashkashat]

Never realized how much the pelican looks like a dinosaur.

[pedromoreira-iihr]

The fact the pelican mother rolls belly up to avoid getting her neck turn backwards or straight up breaking and making her fall proves shes behin either atacked before or most likely saw how falcons kill pelicans mid flight before and learned how to try to stop it insane both prey and predator on behin this skilled in evolving survival skills 😮

Peregrine Falcons are fascinating animals . They are the fastest creatures on this planet!

[er]

Road rage in the animal kingdom too! 😂

[jitheshchandriyan]

Pure natural dog fight. Pelican as naval fighter (paddle shape feet)and falcon as air force fighter .

[Dars-ff]

Peregrine is the honey badger on the air. Fearless!

[stroboscopetm]

Hands up to the Pelican, he did it bravely…😮

[HomeOfTheBRAVE.]

The pelican and falcon are beautiful birds. Amazing footage.

That one kid at school that wants to take revenge on the bullies

[tomthecat]

Going for their eyes in mid flight? Determined ‼️😏👍🏾

[jimjimgl]

Pelican is like that chubby kid in school who suddenly shows you he can break dance...

[jt]

Boy looked like a tomcat with the roll over😂

[miguelchavarin]

Fabulosa la maniobrabilidad del pelícano, ante el ataque del Alcón. !!

[badcaseofstripes]

Peregrine falcons do not play around. The amount of power for their size is unreal. Big birds fear the falcon knowing they could just get one shot at any moment.

Pelicans are the continuity of Jurassic flying predators

Just another day in the skies overhead between a Pelican & and falcon. You all know who’s gonna win this? Right? Watch it again.
Outstanding maneuvering. Quick instant spontaneous action
Thanks Mark. You’ve done it again Breath taking footage. The master of all videos.

The way this Falcon throws its prey off balance is fantastic. It's like a 100-meter runner who barely touches you and falls in a brutal manner.
