Beautiful!! Thankyou!!
Gloriously clear images of the awesome birds. I've only just become interested in this incredible bird. It has so much in it's armoury to make it the apex airial predator. The shape of it's wings, the size of it's eyes, the spine crushing beak shape, it's streamlined body (in a dive), ratchet-like claws, manoeuvrability midair, the glaze over the eyes when travelling super fast, and it's lungs able to withstand enormous forces.
she is teaching them what to do. I love these role playing times
Fantastic video!
This is lovely!
Poor mum 😢 but she did a great job raising those babies.
Nicely done 👏
Love peregrine falcons.
Oh My God.
The Poor Mother left the world :( She was a very caring mother like any mother in the world. Only the mothers have a tough job to raise the children and finally leaving them to survive after teaching them how to Live. There is no replacement of mother's Love. No replacement.
Thanks for sharing man
Great video for people like me who love '' birds of prey '' !
Jerry- thanks!

Jerry Langlois. Peregrine Falcon is my most favourite birds of prey. Fastest bird in the world 🌍
Waw really wonderful 👌 love you from lRAQ 😍💓
Great I love it
Great documentary. These are Tundra subspecies correct?
👍👍
Isn't is unusual for birds of prey to raise that many chicks at one time. I know some species rarely raise more than one. Two is not unusual but four seems amazing.
Hi there! I have watched quite a few falcon videos with four chicks in a family, so it seems normal for this particular bird. It remains to be seen how many manage to survive, regrettably.
Peregrine falcons often raise 4-5 chick's. It is more common for a brood to have 4 eyases than it is 2 for instance.
I looked all over the Internet but I could not find the answer I was looking for. How exactly do you become a Falcon?
By choosing the right parents!
...or sign up to play football in Atlanta!
Reincarnation 🙄
Is this a joke, or did you mean to say falconer?
👍🏻
The mother sacrificed herself to put food on the table for the chicks. 😭
Probably the most territorial bird on the planet it will kill anything n it, literally !
Hey these shots are great and I was wondering if you could let me know how you went about filming it and what you used because Im trying to do the same in Mass
Hi Nature Nolan,
Thanks for the compliment... thankfully, there are now once again a number of nesting pairs of falcons in Massachusetts. If you can locate a nest site where you can quietly sit (for hours a day!) and see the nest area from a reasonable distance, and you have a video camera with a long telephoto lens (on a tripod), that's basically all it takes. Be prepared to wait and wait for something to happen each day... when it does, it will probably happen very quickly and suddenly, and won't last long, so you have to always be prepared to get the camera focused and running (very frustrating at times).
The adults will take turns tending the nest while the other one disappears, on the hunt for food. During that time, there will likely be little happening at the nest area, at least until the chicks are fledged, or close to it. The chicks often get vocal when they detect an adult coming in, probably long before you'll see the adult coming. The hunting parent will eventually suddenly swoop in with a prey item (a bird), and maybe hand it off to the other parent (often in the air). The food will be brought by one of the parents to the chicks in the nest (or wherever the chicks may be, if already out of the nest). Once they've been fed, the chicks will likely be sedentary and quiet, until the next feeding (hours later). Once the chicks begin to fly, things get more interesting, as they learn the skills they'll need. They'll hang around the nest site, continuing to be fed by the adults until the adults encourage them to hunt for themselves (probably about August here in Mass). To film the whole story, you'll have to start watching the nest site in perhaps March or April, through July and maybe into August. Try to be quiet and still so as not to stress the parents; some are more tolerant of people nearby than others. The chicks won't be bothered by your presence (as long as you don't get too close), as they don't really know what you are; but the parents may be upset and may not nest there again next year if disturbed too much. Good luck!
New England Forests Thank you for the detailed response, this is really helpful and I can't wait for spring to start filming
One landed out my back today he got a pigeon I got a video and photos of him - he's been around the last few days I'm going to try catch him
