Snow owl:
*"Just wait 'til dark, just you wait!"*
Falcon: So silent.. imma go to sleep
*Forever Sleep*
Lmao theres actually a video of that. Great horned owl attacks the nest of a peregrine and snatches all baby peregrines from its mother
Snowy owls are actually diurnal means Active At day

I didn't know that, Nancy, so thank you for that information.
Makes my comment less funny now.
😜😂😂😂
Snow Owl is Diurnal, Bro
I love both birds
I would love to see a snowy owl in the wild some day! they are so gorgeous!
Happy to know, that none of the Magnificent Birds were hurt or killed.
RIGHT ON
I wouldn’t even know who to root for.
Err nature is brutal. Genesis tells you why....
*_Yet._*
Probably just fighting over resources
snowy owl looks like a fat flying cat.so adorable!!!!!Cutest ever!
it ain't called cat-head hawk for nothing.
Yeah, please don’t buy one to impress your friends. You’ll just get lazy and stop caring within a month...
Well I do love owls but ok
@@EllaTrigger I love them to.
I always hate when someone compare or pair a majestic animal to a house Cat... ughhh I still love dogs than lazy Cats
"Eventually, when the falcon finally left to..."
The owl took a shit.. Why is this funny to me?
thinks thats their impression of the middle finger
+Ember Waves Birds often defecate prior to flight. Especially when threatened.
i was laughing at that too. haha
Because everything that the owl does is funny!
I see the snowy owl has been watching the karate kid and was ready to institute the crane kick.
'the next day...'Snowy owl: Fucking falcons!
beautiful birds both owl and falcons )
@shut beak Close up... you will change your mind. Both birds are exquisite! Such is the nature of God spoken into existence by the Word himself... Jesus Christ.🙋🏾
This is an owl and not bird
@@Kpajchathewolf07Owls ARE birds
Owls thinking: just wait until that sun goes down ☠️*
EXACTLY
exactly.. this bird is ghost bird
Should be happy the falcons didn't go in for a dive bomb instead too. 360 km/h of falcon bullet
@@hanneskonigwinqvist4396 I just watch a video of a Falcon breaking a drake mallards neck with that maneuver
Snowy owls are diurnal. They spend their summers on the Arctic Tundra when the sun does not set for six months and in winter make their way more south for food. I often see them during winter (South Eastern Canada) and they only hunt during the day and roost at night in the tall pine trees. They love perching at the top of the wooden electric poles where they have a great view of the land for any potential prey like wild turkeys, hares, rabbits, voles and the occasional racoon if it's small.
Thanks for watching and please consider subscribing to our channel.
Not once - but a "Twice in a Lifetime " Experience for you both. My birding companion and I, whom do regular, if not daily counts at a recovering creek in our town, were at our spot for ten minutes and saw a Red-Tailed Hawk perched nearby. We took photos and used the zoom function but did not get closer. But other visitors, unaware of this full-grown male hawk, walked their dog or strolled with their baby and the hawk was unimpressed by anyone whom passed by, garnering our admiration.
The owls are very interesting.so amazing to watch.
That was a GREAT footage.
Thank you for capturing and sharing this video.
The owl at the end is just like "OHH FUCK are they gone....I think I'm goo- OHH FUCK"
Amazing quality of image! Great work👍
Fascinating. Another great video.
Thanks for this great footage!!
Hedwing RUN!!
daAnder71 yes
Also there are 7 books
daAnder71 don’t you ever diss Harry Potter again
@@AmberosiaCODM e/+
run or fly? =)
You got to see two magnificent birds! A lot of birders travel just to get a glimpse of them.
Wow, great footage!
Legend is that they are still fighting
Fantastic footage. Great job!
Owls could wreck havoc on the other raptors nests during the night hours given a chance{proximity}.
That might explain falcons behavior, they would not want any owls in their territory.
True that.
In any other owl species, yes. But Snowy Owl isn't nocternal, they hunt at any hour and the falcon just defends itself in general because it's awake
What a beautiful owl.
Amazing dream footage!
Lmao the owl be like "I wish yo ass would try me at night!"
Snowy Owl feed in the day as well, during the summer the Artic is daylight 7/24. Its more like see my big wings and body I am bigger and more powerful your just faster.
Denis Dupuis but they're more active and more defensive at night
Population
Their local numbers are high when the lemming population they prey on is high and lower when the lemming population is low.
Range
In North America, snowy owls are found during the breeding season from the western Aleutians in Alaska to northeastern Manitoba (Churchill), northern Quebec and northern Labrador in Canada. In the winter, they can regularly be found in the northern United States. Sporadically they can be found as far south as central California as well as in Texas and Florida.
Behavior
Unlike most other owl species, snowy owls hunt mainly in the daytime. Snowy owls are highly nomadic and their movements are tied to the abundance of their primary prey species, lemmings. They are known to aggressively defend their nests and will attack those that disturb their nests.
Oh
Gifted rose Snowy owls are extremely powerful birds, and will even attack wolves that come to close to their ground nests. I don't think daytime phased the powerful bird too much, but it was a funny joke nonetheless :)
We've had Peregrine Falcons raise young in the pipe chases at our plant in Kingsport TN, There is nothing like walking down the process and having the juveniles meet you in the alley ways.
Aww, poor Snowys!
stunning capture!
Wonderful filming
Great capture! Thanks :)
So, this is more like a trading of insults than a real VS.
Wonderful
Thank you
There are snowy owls in NJ!?! I seriously had no clue you could find them there, I'd always assumed they lived much farther north, maybe northern Canada, Alaska, etc
They are my favorite bird & I would be so happy if I actually saw one one day!
I think that was a rare sighting of an owl who got lost and strayed too far south. They do live much farther north.
When their food source of lemmings is too low they choose to move south temporarily for better food.
Vacation days are allowed in nature
great capture!
Wow great footage!
Owls are just beautiful, cute but deadly. A complete package
Wow...as mentioned by Max K.....outstanding footage.
Once in a lifetime experience.
Snowy owl: *DEFENSIVE MODE ON*
Spectacular,and fantastic quality.I wish I could have been there in person.I don't know whether you live close by,but you are so privileged if you do.Keep on filming!!!!!
Thank you very much your beautiful videos
whats that thing in the ocean to left of owl at .046
Great video
Beautiful birds.
it is an owl not a bird
@@Kpajchathewolf07 Owls are a type of bird.
@@LudicrousCunningFox I know it's a species of bird but the animal itself is not a bird
Very good capture
always amazes me the owl can rotate it's head so far
WOW! Thank you for sharing this.
Incredible how skilled and fast those falcons are! The owls are gorgeous. Glad all were okay. 🙏. Great sighting
I can't take snow owls seriously, their goofy silly faces are adorable
Until their talons rip your face off!
I remember 2 ospreys doing that to me and my dad when we were fishing. My dad told me to tuck my head into my hoodie or they might get my eyes. That's when the tears started flowing
Great footage!
Great video! Thanks for sharing. One question, isn't this snowy owl way South from his normal territory? It's amazing this was seen in New Jersey!
Miss Peregrine vs Hedwig
Awesome nature captured on video.
Stumbled upon this video and can’t believe this was in Stone Harbor!! What street??
Whr is ful video
This came up in suggestions in 2020. Where has this been hiding for so long? Nice!
This was great

My word... what quality footage... and what an encounter!
That owl is beautiful
beautiful owl
awesome video ,congrats
Beautiful owl. Nice looking pair of falcons.
Good stuff. thanks.
Interesting that these peregrine falcons aggressively flew towards the the snowy owls to scare them away. Thank you fo this footage, it is remarkable and quite unique!
Is Jersey a normal place for a snowy owl?
Those falcons are just like surfers.
great sighting !
What is the result
The owl pooped
True story, it pooped
That was not needed and extremely harsh, take a chill pill. Suicide is a serious thing.
@@Egguana_ Wot?
Klay Long they usually do that right before they fly away
@@cubingwithcarl4572 Yup, All raptors have that behavior - Eagles, Hawks, Owls, and yes, peregrine falcons (I've seen this while photographing). I always wondered why they do that....
Wow!! Amazing!!!!
The first owl didn’t leave till he shit on the peregrines territory😂
Owls some times attack other birds nests at night to steal chicks and eggs. That's probably why those 2 falcons were so alert, they probably have a nest near by with eggs or babies in.
I did not know that , Thank you
Not a snow owl but about that size I watched a barn owl in the woods near my place. After it took note of me, over 100 feet away, it decided to fly away landing on a branch at least 500 feet off - when it landed and grabbed the branch there I heard it distinctly - sounding exactly like an axe biting into hard wood swung full force.
Do peregrines live in NJ?
What about snowy owls?
Something passed by in the water around :49. Perhaps a harbor seal?
Wharer in the image?
Just beneath the left wing of the owl.
"Aight, I'll leave but I'm takin' a shit first"
Snowy Owl .. Such a noble man with wings.
You’ll notice the falcons maintain a distance. Don’t want to meet up with those owl talons
Were the peregrine falcons defending their nest?
It is funny how people are saying just wait till the night, you'll be sorry when the sun goes down blah blah blah, the thing is Snowy Owls are most active at dawn and dusk and during the day otherwise known as Crepuscular. As for the Peregrine side of things the female will stay with the chicks 24/7 with the male providing the meals.
I love the snowy owl!
My neighbor has a fake owl on her balcony - I guess to scare away pigeons.
A sharp shinned hawk got in a fight with the fake owl - swooping a shreaking .
Are you gonna tell us . . . ? Who won?
Beautiful owl
Wow owl head 360 degree just like IP CAM.
Wow ❣️....sighting of lifetime 👍👍👍👍
Just realized most birds do the same display of presenting their wings, like the White Breasted Nuthatch, to express themselves.
Birds have very innate bird behavior and when you see it in one bird you will see it in all of them.
There are Snowy owls at Jersey Shore? Isn't New Jerseys climate too hot for them?
this iswinter footage so they have spread further south because so many babies were born they need to find their own territory.
THESE ARE SOME BEAUTIFUL BIRDS
This owl is an owl and not a bird you are a bird
Se o poderoso falcão peregrino tenta afugentar essa coruja do seu território, é porque a presença dela incomoda por também ser poderosa. Dá pra perceber a cautela do Falcão em apenas passar perto e não entrar em confronto direto, já que também poderá se machucar gravemente.
no fighting?
Methinks they don't like sharing their territory with an owl.
Nice
I wonder which is stronger
Poor owl, just sitting there, minding his own business...some falcons are just busybodies, I tellya! :D (Honestly, not taking sides--love both falcons and owls SO MUCH!)
the Falcons - NOT waring bodycams.. so against the rules of engagement !
Owls are quite aggressive, powerful and silent killers. Falcon has speed.
