Snow owl:
*"Just wait 'til dark, just you wait!"*
Falcon: So silent.. imma go to sleep
*Forever Sleep*
Lmao theres actually a video of that. Great horned owl attacks the nest of a peregrine and snatches all baby peregrines from its mother
Snowy owls are actually diurnal means Active At day

I didn't know that, Nancy, so thank you for that information.
Makes my comment less funny now.
😜😂😂😂
Snow Owl is Diurnal, Bro
I love both birds
Happy to know, that none of the Magnificent Birds were hurt or killed.
RIGHT ON
I wouldn’t even know who to root for.
Err nature is brutal. Genesis tells you why....
*_Yet._*
Probably just fighting over resources
snowy owl looks like a fat flying cat.so adorable!!!!!Cutest ever!
it ain't called cat-head hawk for nothing.
Yeah, please don’t buy one to impress your friends. You’ll just get lazy and stop caring within a month...
Well I do love owls but ok
@@EllaTrigger I love them to.
I always hate when someone compare or pair a majestic animal to a house Cat... ughhh I still love dogs than lazy Cats
I would love to see a snowy owl in the wild some day! they are so gorgeous!
beautiful birds both owl and falcons )
@shut beak Close up... you will change your mind. Both birds are exquisite! Such is the nature of God spoken into existence by the Word himself... Jesus Christ.🙋🏾
This is an owl and not bird
@@Kpajchathewolf07Owls ARE birds
"Eventually, when the falcon finally left to..."
The owl took a shit.. Why is this funny to me?
thinks thats their impression of the middle finger
+Ember Waves Birds often defecate prior to flight. Especially when threatened.
i was laughing at that too. haha
Because everything that the owl does is funny!
I see the snowy owl has been watching the karate kid and was ready to institute the crane kick.
Owls thinking: just wait until that sun goes down ☠️*
EXACTLY
exactly.. this bird is ghost bird
Should be happy the falcons didn't go in for a dive bomb instead too. 360 km/h of falcon bullet
@@hanneskonigwinqvist4396 I just watch a video of a Falcon breaking a drake mallards neck with that maneuver
Snowy owls are diurnal. They spend their summers on the Arctic Tundra when the sun does not set for six months and in winter make their way more south for food. I often see them during winter (South Eastern Canada) and they only hunt during the day and roost at night in the tall pine trees. They love perching at the top of the wooden electric poles where they have a great view of the land for any potential prey like wild turkeys, hares, rabbits, voles and the occasional racoon if it's small.
Thanks for watching and please consider subscribing to our channel.
'the next day...'Snowy owl: Fucking falcons!
Owls could wreck havoc on the other raptors nests during the night hours given a chance{proximity}.
That might explain falcons behavior, they would not want any owls in their territory.
True that.
In any other owl species, yes. But Snowy Owl isn't nocternal, they hunt at any hour and the falcon just defends itself in general because it's awake
Thank you for capturing and sharing this video.
The owls are very interesting.so amazing to watch.
Not once - but a "Twice in a Lifetime " Experience for you both. My birding companion and I, whom do regular, if not daily counts at a recovering creek in our town, were at our spot for ten minutes and saw a Red-Tailed Hawk perched nearby. We took photos and used the zoom function but did not get closer. But other visitors, unaware of this full-grown male hawk, walked their dog or strolled with their baby and the hawk was unimpressed by anyone whom passed by, garnering our admiration.
Fascinating. Another great video.
Wow, great footage!
Thanks for this great footage!!
Hedwing RUN!!
daAnder71 yes
Also there are 7 books
daAnder71 don’t you ever diss Harry Potter again
@@AmberosiaCODM e/+
run or fly? =)
That was a GREAT footage.
Amazing quality of image! Great work👍
You got to see two magnificent birds! A lot of birders travel just to get a glimpse of them.
Fantastic footage. Great job!
Legend is that they are still fighting
Amazing dream footage!
What a beautiful owl.
stunning capture!
The owl at the end is just like "OHH FUCK are they gone....I think I'm goo- OHH FUCK"
We've had Peregrine Falcons raise young in the pipe chases at our plant in Kingsport TN, There is nothing like walking down the process and having the juveniles meet you in the alley ways.
Wonderful filming
Lmao the owl be like "I wish yo ass would try me at night!"
Snowy Owl feed in the day as well, during the summer the Artic is daylight 7/24. Its more like see my big wings and body I am bigger and more powerful your just faster.
Denis Dupuis but they're more active and more defensive at night
Population
Their local numbers are high when the lemming population they prey on is high and lower when the lemming population is low.
Range
In North America, snowy owls are found during the breeding season from the western Aleutians in Alaska to northeastern Manitoba (Churchill), northern Quebec and northern Labrador in Canada. In the winter, they can regularly be found in the northern United States. Sporadically they can be found as far south as central California as well as in Texas and Florida.
Behavior
Unlike most other owl species, snowy owls hunt mainly in the daytime. Snowy owls are highly nomadic and their movements are tied to the abundance of their primary prey species, lemmings. They are known to aggressively defend their nests and will attack those that disturb their nests.
Oh
Gifted rose Snowy owls are extremely powerful birds, and will even attack wolves that come to close to their ground nests. I don't think daytime phased the powerful bird too much, but it was a funny joke nonetheless :)
Great capture! Thanks :)
So, this is more like a trading of insults than a real VS.
great capture!
Wonderful
Thank you
Wow...as mentioned by Max K.....outstanding footage.
Once in a lifetime experience.
whats that thing in the ocean to left of owl at .046
Wow great footage!
Aww, poor Snowys!
There are snowy owls in NJ!?! I seriously had no clue you could find them there, I'd always assumed they lived much farther north, maybe northern Canada, Alaska, etc
They are my favorite bird & I would be so happy if I actually saw one one day!
I think that was a rare sighting of an owl who got lost and strayed too far south. They do live much farther north.
When their food source of lemmings is too low they choose to move south temporarily for better food.
Vacation days are allowed in nature
Thank you very much your beautiful videos
Great video! Thanks for sharing. One question, isn't this snowy owl way South from his normal territory? It's amazing this was seen in New Jersey!
Great video
Spectacular,and fantastic quality.I wish I could have been there in person.I don't know whether you live close by,but you are so privileged if you do.Keep on filming!!!!!
Incredible how skilled and fast those falcons are! The owls are gorgeous. Glad all were okay. 🙏. Great sighting
always amazes me the owl can rotate it's head so far
Owls are just beautiful, cute but deadly. A complete package
Great footage!
Very good capture
Beautiful birds.
it is an owl not a bird
@@Kpajchathewolf07 Owls are a type of bird.
@@LudicrousCunningFox I know it's a species of bird but the animal itself is not a bird
I can't take snow owls seriously, their goofy silly faces are adorable
Until their talons rip your face off!
My word... what quality footage... and what an encounter!
WOW! Thank you for sharing this.
Awesome nature captured on video.
Snowy owl: *DEFENSIVE MODE ON*
This came up in suggestions in 2020. Where has this been hiding for so long? Nice!
Beautiful owl. Nice looking pair of falcons.

Do peregrines live in NJ?
What about snowy owls?
Whr is ful video
I remember 2 ospreys doing that to me and my dad when we were fishing. My dad told me to tuck my head into my hoodie or they might get my eyes. That's when the tears started flowing
Stumbled upon this video and can’t believe this was in Stone Harbor!! What street??
Not a snow owl but about that size I watched a barn owl in the woods near my place. After it took note of me, over 100 feet away, it decided to fly away landing on a branch at least 500 feet off - when it landed and grabbed the branch there I heard it distinctly - sounding exactly like an axe biting into hard wood swung full force.
great sighting !
That owl is beautiful
Interesting that these peregrine falcons aggressively flew towards the the snowy owls to scare them away. Thank you fo this footage, it is remarkable and quite unique!
awesome video ,congrats
This was great
Miss Peregrine vs Hedwig
no fighting?
What is the result
Good stuff. thanks.
Something passed by in the water around :49. Perhaps a harbor seal?
Wharer in the image?
Just beneath the left wing of the owl.
Wow!! Amazing!!!!
THESE ARE SOME BEAUTIFUL BIRDS
This owl is an owl and not a bird you are a bird
Just realized most birds do the same display of presenting their wings, like the White Breasted Nuthatch, to express themselves.
Birds have very innate bird behavior and when you see it in one bird you will see it in all of them.
Se o poderoso falcão peregrino tenta afugentar essa coruja do seu território, é porque a presença dela incomoda por também ser poderosa. Dá pra perceber a cautela do Falcão em apenas passar perto e não entrar em confronto direto, já que também poderá se machucar gravemente.
Wait what? What's a snowy owl doing in new Jersey? I mean I know it can get cold there but I didn't think it'd be a place for them to live..
see answer above
Snowy owls don't "live" in this region, they fly down from the Arctic to spend winter south of the tundra from Canada to the Northeastern states to hunt for food and usually fly back around April to May to nest and raise their young.
Is Jersey a normal place for a snowy owl?
I wonder which is stronger
I did not know that , Thank you
Snowy Owl .. Such a noble man with wings.
Wow ❣️....sighting of lifetime 👍👍👍👍
My neighbor has a fake owl on her balcony - I guess to scare away pigeons.
A sharp shinned hawk got in a fight with the fake owl - swooping a shreaking .
Are you gonna tell us . . . ? Who won?
It is funny how people are saying just wait till the night, you'll be sorry when the sun goes down blah blah blah, the thing is Snowy Owls are most active at dawn and dusk and during the day otherwise known as Crepuscular. As for the Peregrine side of things the female will stay with the chicks 24/7 with the male providing the meals.
The owl pooped
True story, it pooped
That was not needed and extremely harsh, take a chill pill. Suicide is a serious thing.
@@Egguana_ Wot?
Klay Long they usually do that right before they fly away
@@cubingwithcarl4572 Yup, All raptors have that behavior - Eagles, Hawks, Owls, and yes, peregrine falcons (I've seen this while photographing). I always wondered why they do that....
beautiful owl
Were the peregrine falcons defending their nest?
I love the snowy owl!
Hedwig vs Falco who would win?
There are Snowy owls at Jersey Shore? Isn't New Jerseys climate too hot for them?
this iswinter footage so they have spread further south because so many babies were born they need to find their own territory.
Owls some times attack other birds nests at night to steal chicks and eggs. That's probably why those 2 falcons were so alert, they probably have a nest near by with eggs or babies in.
The first owl didn’t leave till he shit on the peregrines territory😂
Beautiful owl
Those falcons are just like surfers.
Why owl always spotted alone?
How did he know it was a DIFFERENT owl???
Wouldn't these two be natral competitors in the arctic?
Owls are so beautiful and mystical
Looks like Hedwig's brother =)
LOL!
