-------------------- "I have no way of knowing whether you, who eventually will read this record, like stories or not. If you do not, no doubt you have turned these pages without attention. I confess that I love them. Indeed, it often seems to me that of all the good things in the world, the only ones humanity can claim for itself are stories and music; the rest, mercy, beauty, sleep, clean water and hot food (as the Ascian would have said) are all the work of the Increate. Thus, stories are small things indeed in the scheme of the universe, but it is hard not to love best what is our own—hard for me, at least."

Watching the effectiveness of predators always fills me with an immense level of respect for nature, and how life finds a way in whatever circumstances it can. Raptors are particularly good examples, as they have frequently developed adaptations that allow them to bridge the gap between the world of the skies and that of the ground or sea, such as eagles fishing or hawks dive-bombing rodents in the grass.

bird of prey are pretty awesome.
i saw two eagles fighting once, one hovering over the back of the other and the other eagle was trying to evade it with alot of sharp turns and things. just as the eagle above swooped down to claw the other eagle it flipped onto its back and veered its talons upwards into the other eagle. was pretty epic
also interesting to observe that combat between eagles didn't appear to be too much different between aircrafts too in some ways.

Death is a natural part of life. You are alone on this one.
There are times and places for aggression. Being an athlete and given the position I was always played at, I can respect a predator. Especially something so quick and efficient. Dive bombed the stupid fucking duck for christ sake and snaped his neck no landing.... They are apex predators. Beautiful animals. True death machines. They are designed by mother nature for 2 things. Fuck and kill

I don't understand the disrespecting comment? It wasn't trained, or forced to kill the duck.
It's probably not killing 10 or 20 at a time then only eating 1.

Nature can be quite amusing, hilarious even, you know. For example, here is a vulture who got his head stuck up a dead pig's butt. Don't worry though, the vulture managed to escape about an hour later.

The head stays on, the neck and spine are likely broken.
It is possible to very briefly see that the body-weight pivots on the tip of the beak as it flips over.

Also, just for fun, the moment of impact:

I have no goddamn idea what is going on here, but the hawk only appears in one frame on the regular speed and three frames on the slo-mo and all four frames look exactly like this.

Thank you for this post because it really puts into perspective how fucking amazing these animals are
1. speed, thing appears in one god damn frame...wtf
2.method of killing. it literally navy seals that ducks bitch ass. duck doesnt even see it coming and BOOM go to sleep... go to sleep little duck.
3. The coordination. The mother fucking coordination it took for this little guy to dive bomb that duck stop before impacting the ground, snap its neck like a ninja and bounce.

I'm not sure what kind of falcon that is, i want to say it's a Peregrine Falcon, which isn't just any old bird of prey or falcon... it's a highly tuned apex predator that can reach speeds of up to 240 miles per hour in a dive... which is fucking absurd.
i'm almost certain those streaks coming down it's eyes are indicative of the species, but feel free to correct me

Think that Peregrine is a good estimate, but not certain that it is the case.
Male Peregrines have a rather dark grey feathering to them, which seems more pronounced than in the OP:

Females are more brown, but appear to have too much coverage on the chest:

The male seems a better candidate than the female, but the colouring seems a bit off.
Googling for types of falcons brought up the Prairie Falcon though:


Which seems to have a similar striping pattern on the eyes, but is more of a soft brown that seems to match the original more closely.
Could still be a Peregrine though, either way I learned about a different species of Falcon today that I may actually see around my home and mistake for a type of Hawk.

i'm almost certain those streaks coming down it's eyes are indicative of the species, but feel free to correct me

Think that Peregrine is a good estimate, but not certain that it is the case.
could also be a cooper's hawk. they're commonly mistaken for peregrines

on second glance... the markings on the face of the bird in question, it's definitely a peregrine
