Red Tailed Hawk Juvenile Learning to Hunt

Many of us remember the magical time of our lives when we were young and just starting out in the world. Just like a juvenile human being, a Juvenile Red Tail Hawk has lots of growing up to do! Life is full of exciting adventures and lessons learned within Mother Nature's classroom of life.
Red Tails are a very successful species in fact, their habitat covers most of North America. Their famous "red" tail feathers do not develop their famous red coloring until adulthood and neither do their famous hunting skills. They are quick learners however the early attempts aren't always successful.
They have stunning eye capable of spotting their prey form great distances and clearly for a laser focus when swooping down on a potential meal. They are simply incredible to watch and admire and I am happy to share this small window into the world of a young Red Tailed Hawk enjoy!

[@WaynesAdventure]

I love those Red Tailed Hawks

[@miketobin2324]

Supreme! Thank You!

[@coleknight7245]

What a wonderful and truly masterful video. Great job sir!

[@waywardmuse]

A heart-felt story & one of the best RT hawk videos I've seen! There's a pair I've been following for years -- I'm about to get my first HD camera and only hope to aspire to the level of quality seen in your vids -- keep up the great work! (Discovery channel should really pick you up -- it's a no brainer!)

[@mariethiers6915]

Thank you for a great and very interesting video! Greetings from Europe. 👍😊🦅

[@beentheredoneization]

Great footage and stills!

[@ginaland411]

Love it! The best part was the footage of the crows chasing the hawk...with the crab in its mouth. It always amazes me how brave crows can be. The hawk is beautiful!

[@treewalker1070]

The crows are not brave. They know that the hawk can't do anything to them as long as they don't position themselves below the hawk, And the crows are only harassing the hawk for fun anyway, because Red-Tailed Hawks are no threat to them or any other passerines.

Great shots, Anne! Thanks to both of you for sharing such a beautiful species!

[@brucehanover890]

Super footage, nice to find something like this on KZbin! Keep up the great work!

[@tiffanystokes2046]

Wonderful video! Thank you for posting it!

[@Torn80cj]

Nice video, and nice photograhpy by your wife. Some great footage, and glad to see the young hawk is going to make it.

[@sammcarlton4123]

wonderful! I've been concerned about a juvenile here...and I mean HERE....as he/she is learning to hunt. The sound this red tail makes is haunting. It's August, plentiful food here: loads of chipmunks and lots of rabbits. the chipmunks are vanishing. Next on the menu....

[@AnnemieM]

I am the 100's thumb up. This is a really nice informative video, thank you Mark.

[@o.osuq-madiq2008]

At least 5 times a week, if not daily.. I see crows constantly harassing hawks. But the horseshoe crab is a new one! Haa

[@mikedun8882]

Great video.well done.

[@realanimals-470]

Super! 👍 subscribed. Recently, a similar fight between two kites was sown.

[@owlluvr612]

Thanks for such a nice video

[@carlobrigante4764]

I watched a juvenile red tail hawk for 4 hours today. many hunts and failed ambushes on squirrels, she got some earthworms, I'll be tracking her tomorrow

[@justliberty4072]

Where do you live that garter snakes come out to bask in the winter?

[@notgoingtousemyname6921]

nice video. thanks.

[@PamelaLeavey]

This is wonderful Mark! Where was it shot, looked a lot like PRNWR...

[@brucegordon148]

Really great footage...but if it's winter he, she, has been out of the nest for months. If it had not learned to hunt already it would be dead.

[@joshua-__-654]

Sup

[@vincepetro89]

What's up with this music?

[@oceanecastelnau9821]

This was so cool. Thank you so much! The more we understand our fellow creatures, and appreciate them, the less we'll be willing to let others destroy them for money. Thanks again!

[@Cindy-lr6su]
