what's the point Title: Re: For goshawk fans Post by: Donna on 05-May-11, 11:29:00 PM sorry, i don't get it--except for possibly harming a beautiful animal, what's the point I guess the point is that this is how they maneuver through the forest when chasing prey. You know us humans have to do studies on these things. She seemed very comfortable with this. Title: Re: For goshawk fans Post by: MAK on 05-May-11, 11:31:24 PM Very cool video indeed! :clap:
Title: Re: For goshawk fans Post by: dale on 06-May-11, 12:03:38 AM sorry, i don't get it--except for possibly harming a beautiful animal, what's the point Birds do things like that all the time in nature. The researchers must have wanted to better understand how (and to admire it, repeatedly, in slow motion). Title: Re: For goshawk fans Post by: Paul Hamilton on 06-May-11, 11:03:02 AM sorry, i don't get it--except for possibly harming a beautiful animal, Flying through small gaps is what Goshawks, Coopers Hawks, and Sharp Shinned Hawks do. It's as characteristic of them as a high speed stoop is of a peregrine. What they do in nature is much scarier than what the movie shows. Example -- a few years ago, I was standing by the base of a large tree watching a flock of nearby house sparrows dust bathing. Suddenly, a fast-moving shadow got my attention. I looked up and saw a Coopers Hawk dive into the treetop, flash through the dense network of branches, snatch one of the sparrows, and fly off into the distance. I stood there, stunned like the remaining sparrows, for a long time.what's the point Paul Title: Re: For goshawk fans Post by: Annette on 06-May-11, 11:41:51 AM Awesome video! :notworthy:
