kickingfrog Posted January 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) On an Arctic canoe trip many years ago twice I saw a falcons catch birds is flight. The speed was incredible and the whole incident one of the most memorable things I have ever seen in person.

Joey Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 I saw a hawk catch a pigeon right in front of me. I'll never forget that either! Was pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinker Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 I went duck hunting with a falconer. Most amazing thing I've ever seen. Way better than with a shotgun. Incredible birds. S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskieman Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 That's friggin ' awesome ! Copied this , most of us probably already knew this . "The Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus), is a widespread bird of prey in the family Falconidae. A large, crow-sized falcon, it has a blue-gray back, barred white underparts, and a black head and moustache. The Peregrine is renowned for its speed, reaching over 325 km/h (202 mph) during its characteristic hunting stoop, making it the fastest member of the animal kingdom."

Rustic-Fisher Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Wife has her falconry license, I'm told we're getting a Harris hawk in the spring . I guess we'll see who puts more birds and rabbits in the freezer, my short haired pointer or her raptor LOL. My only hope is the pointer doesn't but the raptor in the freezer YIKES $$$$$$$$$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
