Whoever captured this footage of the dogfight in the air, is a master of his craft. And, the editing was amazing too.

@penboyasgod6103 3 жыл бұрын

Does anyone else really appreciate the combination of great photography, natural sound of the birds and the selection of great music to heighten the action? I was on the edge of my chair watching this. I love documentaries like this --- and especially with birds.

In Hawaii they are called "Iwa" birds, pronounced "Eeva", and when I was a fisherman there I watched them glide for hours without flapping their wings. Fishermen in Hawaii use them to catch Pacific Blue Marlin because the Iwa birds follow the Marlin, hoping to snag the small baitfish Marlin push to the surface when they feed. "Follow the Iwa bird, find the Blue Marlin."
