Title: Re: Falcon dive bombs a Heron Post by: BIGFRANK on 30-Jan-13, 05:37:03 PM We saw that happen at Islington and Bloor nestsite a few year back. Angel the resident female took aim at a Great Blue Heron that was flying lazily along Bloor St. I didnt know Herons could move so fast, it took the shape of a lawn dart and went heading for the ground, with Angel right on its backside, a few twists and turns and the Heron made good its escape.
The falcon in the video is a falconry bird. Some sort of Gyrfalcon. Title: Re: Falcon dive bombs a Heron Post by: patsy6 on 30-Jan-13, 09:22:35 PM Isn't Angel Dot.ca's mom? I'll bet she's fast, and a good flyer. That heron was very lucky.
Title: Re: Falcon dive bombs a Heron Post by: BIGFRANK on 31-Jan-13, 01:55:06 AM Correct Angel is Dot Ca s Mom. He was the very first Peregrine I ever rescued. I do hope he returns, but am glad just to know he made it to adulthood and was able to find a mate.

That would be "Mates"! :whistle: Title: Re: Falcon dive bombs a Heron Post by: patsy6 on 31-Jan-13, 11:24:38 AM And the line now continues to the miraculous Orion! :2thumbsup:
