You can see what is probably the the wing at 44 seconds. I don't think any other bird could do this at night, as they couldn't see any better than the eagle. Night time nest raiding is common behaviour for the GHO.

Owls only objective was to scare her off the top of her chicks so he could grab one. You can see her periodically centering them underneath her with her beak. Even frantically at one point. Her final instinct when she was unsure of the owls position after it swooped was to go to tuck in her chicks. She would protect them with her body.

These cameras do not use the visible light spectrum for night vision. Owls just happen to have superior vision in low light conditions, which is why they do so well against other birds of prey.

@carlwilliams6977 4 жыл бұрын

Your leaving out a few factors "white magic". Owls have tools that no other Raptor has. Namely, excellent night vision, excellent pin point location hearing and silent flight. The fact that you would call an owl "stupid", further demonstrates that you don't know much about birds. It's easy to forget that these cameras give us owl like night-vision that the Eagles don't have! If you don't think these Eagles were seriously concerned, you're not very perceptive either. Please... read more, post less. Heroes and villains don't exist in nature as they do in our world. It's purely a matter of survival, as nature intended. The bird whose wing is in the eagles nest, gave it's life so the eagles will survive. And so it goes… The owl is every bit as magnificent as the Eagle. Don't try to turn it into the Joker!

More than an advantage. Their night-vision lets them dominate at night. These eagles were rendered helpless. An owl wouldn't even think about messing with these two birds in the daylight! Another weapon the owl possesses, is almost silent flight. It's bad enough that the eagle can't see them coming, but they can't hear them either! The owl sacrifices speed for that trait, but when you have stealth, who needs speed?!

These cams are dangerous for the nesting birds and the eggs/nestlings. They emit low frequency tones that can be heard by Owls, and the infra red light that the cams use are picked up by the Owls. They essentially enhance the Owl's already excellent night vision. Tons of Osprey nests have been destroyed by Owls with the aid of nest cams. The bald eagles are much better than Ospreys at defending so they may survive Owl attacks. The Osprey though are not good at defending and have no chance against Owl attacks. The humans are doing their very best to make the Ospreys extinct.
