I live in Oklahoma and don't see alot of falcons. Today i heard a peregrine and finally got to see it dive. I'm crying from joy

Interesting side note: If you are hiking and you see a Peregrine Falcons' nest, absolutely do not go anywhere near them. They are extremely fierce protectors as well as predators and their talons are razor sharp! They will rip you open like a white hot knife through butter. These are my absolute favorite birds: beautiful, majestic, deadly, and the fastest! 😎

My dad used to have a Peregrine for falconry. She was such an excellent hunting bird, even took down a Canada goose once! However, what I really remember her for was that she had a rather distinctive call. It was something like the ee-chup call, but it sounded more like she was shouting expletives at us.

I'm blasting this out of my speaker to scare the seagulls away it's working. 🙂

Been hearing the wailing call a lot recently in San Francisco. Totally guessing but it seems to be a breeding pair defending their territory from an invading one. Scares the hell out of the other birds

I was bird watching one day and one swooped down so fast without stopping and grabbed a bird, I was shocked. Their speed is amazing!

the wailing noise seems to scare pigeons

There is a nest in my neighbor's backyard some 25 yards up in a tree. I just don't want my cat to be swooped away. They are beautiful to observe.

got one of these living in a tall pylon just by my house I hear the wailing sound regularly like a squeaky wheelbarrow ha

I've seen these birds so many times. I live in a forested area in Winnipeg, so they're more common here

Peregrines are mostly silent away from the nest. You’re not likely to hear any of these calls away from the breeding grounds. To see a Peregrine, your best bet is to visit their hunting grounds-lakes, marshes, and sea shores. Watch flocks of ducks and shore birds- if there is a falcon overhead, they may freeze in position and go utterly quiet, or all start screaming at once (falcon alert). Then watch for a large dark bird shaped like a crossbow to come swooping through the flock. That will be the Peregrine.

thank you for these videos!!!!!!!!

Anyone fascinated by falcons has to read J. A. Baker's book The Peregrine. There is no plot; it's a diary of one man's fascination with a pair of falcons that he observes from October through the following April, in East Essex, England in the early 1960s. Falcons were an endangered species in the UK at that time due to pesticide use, and he wanted to document what he was seeing before these birds might go extinct. The book is a classic of its kind. There is no human presence in it, but it is fascinating to note the change in language by the author as the months go by, such that he himself seems to become one of the birds he is watching. It is so beautifully written that I return to it every two years or so, eager to enjoy it again and again. It never get old.

Lately I’ve been seeing them a lot here in Tx. Started off by seeing one. Then next day a pair for a few weeks and just the other day I seen three of them and then a few days later the three again with a huge hawk. When they dive it gives me chills lol so amazing they are that fast. Such an amazing bird.

So Magical sounding 🥰✨✨✨

Such a cool bird there are a ton in Illinois! I love seeing them perch up and fly around soaring

Hawks are such beautiful creatures. Birds in general never fail to fascinate me.❤

Love those birds!

When I played this video through my Bluetooth speaker my kitten, Elsa, came running in and started commÜniCatinGatºüºbeird!

There's a couple in front of my apartment at the top of the church tower. I was wondering what kind of falcons they were.. now i know ! Thanks !!

Peregrines nest on top of a high rise in downtown St.Paul. My previous dentist's office was on the 17th floor of a neighboring building and you could see them swooping around dive-bombing pigeons.

so this is what it sounds like near DIO's mansion

Just had two peregrine falcons fly over my garden five minutes before I posted this comment,making the kak kak call as they passed food between each over. Most likely a breeding pair or adult and sub adult. Came on KZfaq to ID the birds call and this was exactly the sound which identified the species

See these ALL the time. i live near Hawk Mountain, so yeah.

I live on a pond and we have a handful that made a home around here. They don't even bother with the thousands of water and song birds, squirrels, rabbits or mice. It seems these are total Pescetarians. They dive right into the water from the highest limb of a tree, catch fish and go back up to eat it. They're beautiful creatures.

It's cute because now the mocking birds are imitating their sounds. They fooled me already a couple of times this week. The sound was coming from the large bush that reaches our second floor deck and i kept hearing the screeching. Scratching my head, I was surprised they would hang out in such a bush, that's when i saw the mocking bird and watched as it imitated those bigger and badder than he.

just came here 'cuz i've been reading a manhwa about a falcon to envision what they sound like other than the font style "SQUAWK!".

Just the other day I caught a fleeting glimpse of either a falcon or a hawk flying sideways with a fish that a seagulls had in its break and was flying sideways the other direction, fighting to hold onto its meal. This battle swooped by, going behind my 92 year old grandmother's head within 5 feet while we were sitting on our deck. About an hour later, i went in the yard to bring our dog out and the fish they fought for was laying within a foot of the water. Dots of blood on its scales from where the talons had it. Sad it died in vain, but the air battle for over it was a (brief) sight to see

Now I know what type of bird I heard. I heard sound number 3 at 5am (dark).

Esse animal e lindo e expecial

I have a mockingjay that does all of these through late night early morning

theres a couple of these nesting in the bridge above where we launch our boat

Nice video

Which of these are the most common that I should listen for when I’m in nature? Thanks!

I use to put up tower cranes and have had a couple of these attack us while putting up a crane

itsa baby!!!!

😍

I'm out camping...... excellent. Not in a horrible way.

Used this to scare my budgies to shut up worked

Idk how to tell the difference between this call and a merlin falcons. Any tips?

I play this to seagulls who annoy me 😎

I would like to correct myself. After further review, the birds in the tree are not falcons, but rather Red Tail Hawks!!! They are beautiful to listen to and watch but I do not want to see them catch their food. I saw two going after a squirrel and luckily the squirrel got away with me banging on the glass window. They are known for going after cats. I watch mine everytime she goes outside.

Cheetah is like- toh me kya karun? Job chod doon

Airazor beast mode

If I look outside my window there’s a nest and I waited so long to see what it was and it was my favorite animal: peregrine falcon there so beautiful the only thing that’s annoying is that at night the baby make sounds but like it’s a baby and one time a fucking owl attacked the falcon and the falcon chased the owl and I never saw the owl again

Thr chitter call is exclusively for mates 😏 it means they like you. Eagles are even more fluent with this call they're saying many things

Where's its like signature call?

Tubo

I always laugh at “fastest animal on earth” - they’re only fast because they fall from the greatest height. An elephant would be fastest if you dropped it from a plane.
