PEREGRINE FALCON STRIKES DUCK MIDAIR

Published on May 7, 2013

Peregrine Falcon Kills Duck Midair. Falconry is the age old practice of hunting with raptors. Sheldon Nicolle is an enthusiast of the sport who came up with a nifty trick to give us all a bird's eye view of the action. He has fastened a small light weight camera to the back of his peregrine falcon, Dora. On the hunt, we see Dora successfully kill a duck.
