A very grate coverage on Harris Hawk they Live to gether hunt to gether breed to gether A great community of This Harris Hawks ... a great educational information about this Harris Hawk Thanks for this
Thank you James both for your work with these amazing Hawks and for making this brilliant and informative documentary on them. I first saw your film on TV here in the UK about 20+ years ago, so to find it here again on youtube was icing on the cake. Having been honoured to keep and hunt with a couple of Harris Hawks, I can say they truly are amazing birds. From justting in my garage, "manning" a young Harris for the many long hours it takes until they give up the threat display and start to take a little more interest in you, with those piercing eyes checking you out all over. To taking them out into the field to train together, and finally go out and work with him/her to form that hunting partnership, it truly has been one of the highlights of my life. There are those special little moments that stay with you, such as the first time he/she learns to "spill the air" with his/her wings, or hovering over a tussock of grass until the rabbit breaks cover, and then there's also the heart-stopping moments when their fearless doggedness puts them at risk. Such as folding Her wings, turning, and plummeting from 50-60feet on the soar, down into a crack between the rocks that you'd be lucky to get your fist between. It nearly killed me in my panic and rush down the side of the quarry to check she was ok. I slipped and fell 18-20feet, twisted/turned in the air and landed on my back on top of a huge slab of stone the size of a pick-up truck, which fortunately was flat-topped. Once I'd got my breath back, I got up very gingerly and peered down to see Her sitting atop the rocks where the rabbit had took cover, waiting eagerly AND "wagging her tail"...in that inimitiable Harris Hawk way, I did chuckle despite the pain, lol. Memories which I will cherish for as long as I live, so thanks again James as it was your film that was key in my decision of which species of Hawk to have, to pursue what has to be, imo, one of the most rewarding partnerships a Man/Woman can have with any animal. kindest regards, Blaer(aka Paz) PS. Only wish youtube had recommended it the day you uploaded, it would've been the best birthday present ever !!!
Wonderful and informative video. I got to see a Harris' Hawk today up close and personal and he was so majestic! His trainer suggested your documentary to me so I watched it tonight. Great stuff!
This is simply amazing. I feed birds and occasionally will get a glimpse of a kestrel or coopers hawk swooping in for a kill. A glimpse is all I normally get as they are so fast. I would love to see these Harris's Hawks doing their things. Guess I'll have to go south soon. Thanks for uploading.
birds hunting in pack that's new to me after watching many animal documentaries understanding we need them more than they need us, adapting to human habitats
Yep, they're awesome AF too, I had a friend who kept a large female Red-tail, Mitzi, iirc pretty sure her hunting-weight was just under 4-pounds. He hunted with her for at least 10 years until one day, something had gotten her attention. She was following something which he couldn't quite see, for at least 10-15mins and he was struggling to keep up with her. Once she finally came to a stop, he caught up and saw what she was zoning in on.... a Fox !!! He recalled her, which spooked the Fox and pissed her off no-end, but as he said, " he wasn't going to risk his or hers' health", as all he had on him that day was a little 2-inch blade, lol. Red-tails are known for their aggression, it's one bird that CAN and DOES punch above its' weight.
Hawks in Northern Ohio also hunt in pack's. I have seen 5 or more circling a field. In Northen Ohil most of it is still low population and rural with wide open flat plans for miles and miles. Hawks and even now eagles are thriving here.
People posting comments about having Hawks in their neighborhood. I'm jealous cause I live in Brooklyn NY and all we have are pigeons and sparrows. Dull as paint drying. We do have lots of food for Hawks in Manhattan, rats you know. Thousands of them. All over the place. We need some Hawks, falcons and eagles too. Can you send us some please!!!
They should encourage the Hawks in towns, they'll eat rats and rabbits, and they dislike coyotes with avengance! Best feral 'pet' for your garden ever! ☺
they didnt tranq it. birds arent nearly as difficult a some people think and often putting a sheet, or a sock, over its head is enough to keep the bird calm for medical procedures, tagging, and more. they just used a falconers net to temproarily imcapacitate the talons until the could cet something over its eyes. also, by understanding the mating systems of these birds, they can also understand the social structures and how the animals reduce inbreeding through kin selection and whether the birds are looking for a certain trait in a partner.
Someone is leading them to it the tracking device is be tampered with by human those bird are bird from eagle not like eagle good pets very smart bird and all bird are responsible for by eagle if you see a hark give trouble please just call a eagle it’s over lol seriously
Hawks are not humans! we were designed to do the best in heterosexual monogamous relationships. Very good camera work, and research, very poor over reaching conclusions regarding the sex lives of hawks in relation to humans.
Some super genius bird,b4 we r even scientific community consider crows very smart due to their complex problem solving,but Harris hawk took. Complex2 a new level manogmy r non manogmous not a problem 4 gene pool
Lions in the air not wolves , eagles and lions both hunt alone and both are King to their species where as wolves are your typical coward dogs who only jump prey with more than 5
My dad recorded this on vhs years ago... we watched it many times ... I wish i could watch it with him again... RIP
I would love to see your Dad's VHS sounds great n interesting.
Rest in peace and sorry for your loss
That's my Ornithology professor! Way to go Dr. Dawson!!!
His assistant in 15:11 is my wife now. So proud of her. 😍
@Masterstroke Congrats. Wishing you decades of love and friendship together
The Harris hawk is one of my favorite birds of prey. The hawk is also a beautiful and strong raptor.
Im a volunteer at a wildlife rehab (NW) and this documentary was a wonderful amount of insight and info on the Harris Hawk Thanks James Dawson !!

Wonderful, thankyou.
9:44 I love how fearlessly the hawk stands up to such a poisonous snake. one of my favorite predators red-tailed hawk

They're so beautiful and brilliant!

Wow, this is amazing 👏 🙀 I didn't know they could share a nest and babies. So interesting 🤔 thank you 😊.
That's adorable how they live and work together
birds hunting in pack that's new to me after watching many animal documentaries understanding we need them more than they need us, adapting to human habitats
These birds are amazing!
alright but the red-tail with the snake was insane yall
Yep, they're awesome AF too, I had a friend who kept a large female Red-tail, Mitzi, iirc pretty sure her hunting-weight was just under 4-pounds.

Red-tails are known for their aggression, it's one bird that CAN and DOES punch above its' weight.
"Generally it's suspicious", haha especially in 2020 Arizona.
Hawks in Northern Ohio also hunt in pack's. I have seen 5 or more circling a field. In Northen Ohil most of it is still low population and rural with wide open flat plans for miles and miles. Hawks and even now eagles are thriving here.
Raptors are both useful and beautiful creatures. We have Cooper's Hawks in our area.
The Harris hawk is my favorite brid of prey

Spirit of hawk
ALESSANDRO DE SOUZA AXÉ BOM DIA
This is my favorite type of hawk
They also love humans.
The tag on his leg connected the current from the transformer and killed the hawk you can see it in the video
I’m so excited! 😆
Awesome
2:49
nice
They tranquilized a bird to see if it cheats on his mate? Who's tax dollars funded this?
they didnt tranq it.
birds arent nearly as difficult a some people think and often putting a sheet, or a sock, over its head is enough to keep the bird calm for medical procedures, tagging, and more. they just used a falconers net to temproarily imcapacitate the talons until the could cet something over its eyes.

Thank you that was a very informative answer

Break dance practice, youtube
Здравствуйте, как перевести это видео на русский язык? Какие кактусы растут на улице. Где это?
Place is Arizona, USA
These things are dinosaurs.
correct the hawk will run the same way a Velociraptor and other dinosaurs would
NeonShadowLight
Are you sure about that?
Here to Annoy you scientism is cancer, extreme rationalism fuck off.
@@eejay3888 lol, actually birds are classified as dinosaurs now.
Wrong.
they are so pretty
is it possible to buy this on DVD?
Why? it's on RUclips.
Download the video to your computer. Just put "ss" after the www. And before the RUclips
4:06 - Which one is it?
i know that the red kite will hunt on its own or a family pack normal 4 at the max
Vultures
Jay Ny
Vultures don't hunt though. They scavenge
@@giggityeffyou depends on the vulture. Some actually do hunt, but never large prey.
Someone is leading them to it the tracking device is be tampered with by human those bird are bird from eagle not like eagle good pets very smart bird and all bird are responsible for by eagle if you see a hark give trouble please just call a eagle it’s over lol seriously
adaptive polyamorism and territoriality
0:24
Video is a bit old yeah?
Great documentary but Indians are from India. Unbelievable
great visuals, but sorely in need of updating voice over, narritive is just ridiculous.
Hawks are not humans! we were designed to do the best in heterosexual monogamous relationships. Very good camera work, and research, very poor over reaching conclusions regarding the sex lives of hawks in relation to humans.
Why are there not more documentaries on birds made in the U.S. like this???
People aren't interested in birds nowadays
Yeah but they have a million lion and wolf docs.
Some super genius bird,b4 we r even scientific community consider crows very smart due to their complex problem solving,but Harris hawk took. Complex2 a new level manogmy r non manogmous not a problem 4 gene pool
Lions in the air not wolves , eagles and lions both hunt alone and both are King to their species where as wolves are your typical coward dogs who only jump prey with more than 5
Lions hunt with their pride 🤔just like wolves and harris hawks hunt with their pack/cast
Any of your documentary video on Red-Tailed???
