00:04Masters of the Sky, How American Birds of Prey Rule the Hunt
00:08Across American skies, birds of prey soar over cliffs, forests, marshes, deserts, fields,
00:13and city towers. The bald eagle grabs fish from lakes and rivers using broad wings,
00:17sharp talons, and powerful eyesight. The golden eagle hunts across western mountains and open
00:22grasslands, dropping from high air onto rabbits and ground squirrels. The peregrine falcon folds
00:27its wings and dives from cliffs or skyscrapers to strike birds in midair. The red-tailed hawk
00:33circles above highways and farms watching fields before dropping onto mice, rats, and snakes.
00:37The great horned owl flies through dark woods at night, using silent wings to grab rabbits,
00:42skunks, and rodents. The osprey hovers above water, then plunges feet first to snatch fish from lakes,
00:48bays, and rivers. The northern goshawk darts through dense forests chasing birds and squirrels between
00:53tree trunks at high speed. The American kestrel perches on wires and fence posts, scanning grass
00:59for insects, lizards, and small mammals. The turkey vulture circles on rising warm air,
01:04then drops toward carcasses with a strong sense of smell. These hunters share one pattern, sharp eyes,
01:10hooked beaks, strong wings, and talons turn open sky into hunting ground. When a shadow crosses a field,
01:16every mouse, fish, and rabbit suddenly has reason to move.
