Amazing how the eagle senses the hawk closing and immediately rolls so that its talons are facing the other bird, ready to engage. Looks like the hawks may have had a nest nearby and were simply trying to chase the eagle off.
Incredible agility in mid-air for that eagle. I wonder how it knows where the hawks are coming from. It seems to anticipate their closing within striking distance before it flips around to put out its talons for defense.
Also the speed at which the Eagle is moving while doing so is enough to pierce the underbelly of any bird it is chasing with its' talons while in aerial combat. A most incredible bird indeed.
It's not surprising that hawks are faster than eagles. This can be compared to why fighter planes are faster than bomber planes. Hawks are lighter in weight, so it's easier for them to overcome air resistance. But at the same time, the eagle is stronger and more resilient.
All eagles have that maneuvre and they mostly use it amongst themselves. When eagles fight, they do it in the air, and they even lock talons together and spin like mad, loosening from each other just before dropping into the tree tops, which they sometimes do, at very nasty costs. Hawks and falcons always attack eagles and other big raptors like the Osprey and Spotted Eagle-Owl, not to kill them, but to harass them out of their territory.
Cool video. I saw this behavior in....of all places, San Diego. There are huge murders of regular NA Crows and even a few majestic semi solitary and huge Ravens (mostly seen them in pairs and croaking on top of some houses). The Crows always bother the bigger Ravens just like this (very acrobatic). There are also everything from peregrine falcons(and other smaller kind of hawks), to sea eagles and owls (even a few random colonies of escaped parrots)........not to mention the giant flocks of sea gulls. Its extremely interesting to watch birds here!!
Looks like it was a classic case of mobbing amongst birds. I've seen behavior like this all the time around my area (Nebraska). Once I saw a small group of sparrows versus a crow. Another time, there was probably at least 60-70 crows doing this to a red-tailed hawk. They just jumped around in trees and crowded and screamed the hawk out, and a few of them chased the hawk to another tree. Then, they did the same until the hawk finally got the hint and left their area.
The other day I saw a very similar situation in my backyard. Hawks do not play and they are so territorial...or at least they appeared to be. We have them everywhere.
@@Enigma9178 the eagles weight is too much for that hawk to handle , especially if the fight ended up on the ground. The hawk would get rofl stomped in a heart beat
@@Enigma9178 True. Hawk's main strength is stealth strike in a high speed while coming down right on the target. Eagle would have seriously injured for sure irrespective of the size of Eagle. On the ground or from front, hawk is no match for eagle though.
I feel sorry for that bald eagle because it was two against one, but even with the odds stacked against the eagle, the eagle still defended itself quite well against the two hawks
I saw two Mocking Birds do this to a Hawk. The Mocking Birds were about the size of tennis balls, the hawk was like a winged football. The Mocking Birds were so agile and attacked from all angles not just swooping in and drove the Hawk off with ease.
@@budslovesyou2772 I did ask the Harpy eagle as per your advice. The Harpy says Philippines eagle is like a toddler learning to walk. Wondering whether he is right!!
@@henthust9784 nah you didn't, you just talk to your stupid self and brag again. When you response to my suggestion and say you talked to the harpy eagle, you admitted that you are stupid and dumb. All the Eagles knows that too.
@@budslovesyou2772 When I read your response, I thought you were talking in a friendly, joking manner, that is why I joined the joke. Or so I thought. I didn't guess you are so deep buried into this eagle issue that you would defend your stance with such ugly words, especially as to me they are merely birds. Forgive me for thinking I had someone to chat with and share a joke or two. Obviously I was wrong. Let's forget we met. Keep well. And good life to the Philippines eagle. It's not it's fault.
LeoInterHyenaem male and female hawks are chasing eagle from thier hunting territory, which does include thier nest. In truth bald eagles seem to be more laid back somewhat docile, a woman on TH-cam has them hanging out on her porch, look up Mr. Mrs eagle. They are considered a nuisance bird where she lives, they steal groceries from the backs of pickup trucks and snatch food from shopping carts while people are pushing them, sad but funny.
Eagle: "Command come in! This is Eagle one zero niner, I was blindsided by enemy flyers! Currently engaging two bogeys, there on my tail! Executing evasive manu...Dammit! I'm hit! Requesting assistance! GROUND HOG! HELP MEEEEE!
Both are about of parallel strength but have two different hunting styles. Bald eagles are fish eaters who feed on waterfowl and carrion. They hunt but if the opportunity presents itself, would rather scavenge. Golden eagles are more mammalian hunters, eating anything from rabbits to medium sized deer. They also are the most widespread eagle and definitely the most versatile.
Raptors are extremely territorial and it appears this eagle unwittingly entered into the hawks territory, which is approx a 2 mile radius from their nest site. The pair of hawks could have easily done some real damage to the eagle, but it's obvious it was a mere warning to move along.
Actually the eagle could've killed them too since he's bigger and better in arial combat if thaws hawk's could've hurt him in air they would've done it long ago but that's what the eagle was hoping for he was waiting for the hawks to attack him then he would've grabbed one of them by the legs and would've done a serious damage to the Hawks legs or would've just poked it to death while grabbing it but the hawks were too smart and knew that
Those Hawks are definitely going in for the attack, it's just they're too smart to be entangled by the Eagle who keeps trying to grab them by the legs. Those Eagles have really smart fighting tactics for the air like that. Some pretty intense barrel rolls.
Wrong, hawks are 60mph Bald eagles are 75-99mph also did you not just see this video of how agile the eagle was? Every time a hawk got close it did an aerial flip and threatened to snatch them right out of the air if they came closer even 2vs1 hawks are no match.
My guess is that the hawks are "harassing" the eagle. That is, it probably eats the same food as the hawks, so they see it as a competitor and want to drive it off.
Not necessarily. A single hawk can defend it's territory against the likes of a much larger bird of prey. Here in GA, mississippi kites will fight to the death with the much larger red-tailed kites when it comes to nesting and the red-tail kites have to flee or risk being smacked from the sky. Mississippi kites just overwhelm the red-tailed hawk with extreme speed and uncanny maneuverability.
That spinning maneuver of the eagle is wonderful.
Ádám Ambrus I can do that too! whenever I do acid 😁
Amazing how the eagle senses the hawk closing and immediately rolls so that its talons are facing the other bird, ready to engage. Looks like the hawks may have had a nest nearby and were simply trying to chase the eagle off.
"Ready to engage" while it's running for its life....lol.
Ready to defend itself while deciding to leave the area
Their vision area is far greater than ours because of the placement of their eyes and the abilities of the eye. Research the Bald Eagle eye.
Incredible agility in mid-air for that eagle. I wonder how it knows
where the hawks are coming from. It seems to anticipate their
closing within striking distance before it flips around to put out

Elas tem instintos muito apurados (audição, visão, etc).
Also the speed at which the Eagle is moving while doing so is enough to pierce the underbelly of any bird it is chasing with its' talons while in aerial combat. A most incredible bird indeed.
Love how the bald eagle does some sorta evasive rolling maneuver. Nice escape tactics
Wow! That speed of the hawks!! 👍

It was awesome how the bald eagle did his amazing movements in the sky.

WOW!!! Eagle's flip,turn around and reverse the direction at1:59 is astonishing...considering how fast he is flying.
Yes it is a full grown eagle. They don't get their white head until they are five or six years old.
Indeed.
Wow, never seen that kind of aerial confrontation before. Usually see ravens mobbing BOP but this was quite different.
Really good quality here to see the hawk actually landed a solid hit 😳🤯
Eagle might of known he was in the hawks territory . Impressive moment
Fuck it must be fun to fly around like that.

So, watching a bloody civil war unfold between different bird clans is interesting? I've no taste for the macabre myself.
Damn, the stuff they pull off in the air is insane! Such amazing animals...
amazing how that eagle defended itself i like the way it spin in mid air tryna fight back

That eagle had some mad barrel rolling skills.
great footage how lucky you were to catch this.
Lucky becuz he needed money lol
Thanks for all the responses!! I love reading em' !! I just love watching him against those hawks amazing video!!
Full grown eagle! Those were not Falcons!!! SMH
Amazing how hawks were protecting their nest, if it was just one hawk the eagle would of succeded
Thanks for sharing this video ❤️
This is an awesome video. Thanks for sharing! :)
Cool aerial video! That Eagle looks 2 1/2 times the size as a hawk.
The other day I saw a very similar situation in my backyard. Hawks do not play and they are so territorial...or at least they appeared to be. We have them everywhere.
The animal in the hole got food like its popcorn and ready to see the birds lol
love how the eagle goes inverted for the use of its talons! had it grabbed the hawk it would be game over!
@@Enigma9178 Not likely.

damn I liked how the eagle still defends itself while flying them hawks have no chance
Bald eagle goes hard look at those evasive/defensive manuevers. Such a graceful animal.
Lmao no. It’d be 2 easy meals for the Eagle. This eagle is less than 6 months old. U can tell.
In fact, the almost did get it anyway. They lucked out when the eagle missed its grabs. Those talons are 1 hitter quitters.
@@btnhstillfirebald eagles get their white heads around 5-6 years

Astonishing footage!
I just love it when people actually DO A BARREL ROLL.
Thank you for keeping the camera steady. Great video!
This is why Gandalf didn't just have the Eagles carry Frodo to Mount Doom
Shut up. You killed the 3 eyed raven & your minions killed summer. Fuck you.

That reference made me happy.
Better get another job.
Eagle rolled with the situation with beautiful maneuvering!
The hawks are angry because Hollywood is dubbing their voices over the bald eagle who irl has a wimpy call 😂😂😂
fact!
Arial dog fight in nature. SICK!!
Very informative thanks Robert! It was so much fun to watch!!
I can just hear the Top Gun theme when it goes to the air.
1:58 Do a barrel roll!
Hahahaha I seriously could not stop laughing at this!! 😂😂😂😂😂
Courtney Costantino HOLY SHIT !!!
Hahaha I miss starfox. Didn't they remake it too?
ikr
hhh you beat me to it.
I feel sorry for that bald eagle because it was two against one, but even with the odds stacked against the eagle, the eagle still defended itself quite well against the two hawks
Uhm, it’s bigger than a hawk, so 1 vs 1 would be just as, if not more unfair, since it has a natural advantage. If anything, this evens the odds.
I saw two Mocking Birds do this to a Hawk. The Mocking Birds were about the size of tennis balls, the hawk was like a winged football. The Mocking Birds were so agile and attacked from all angles not just swooping in and drove the Hawk off with ease.
The crows know, Never leave your wingman.
Those two hawks and that bald eagle are just a snack for the mighty king of bird's of prey the Philippines Eagle or the Haribon.
How would the Philippines Eagle fare against a Harpy Eagle?

That eagle got skillz of combat in the Air!!!
it was probably the praire dog who was responsible for the ambush!
Hawks were loitering on CAP?
Must of paid them a lot of money
Hawk :coming in hot
Eagle :hawkkome?
Behold the mighty bald eagle!
Eagle: meep
lol the eagle seemed to be just fine and knew how to counter
Strange... One would expect for the opposite to be the case. The hawks / falcons must be protecting a nest.
No, the Hawks play at Philips Arena and the Falcons play at the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Next door to each other, but different nests.
the problem is that the Eagles play at Lincoln Financial Field which i hear is infested with Owls so i can understand the confusion :P

Wow very good camera!! What where you using!!??? Good vid!!
What a lucky catch! Very nice!
what a fantastic video, thank you for shooting it.
What kind of camera/lens are you using here? Thanks. Stunning!
some serious combat maneuvers by the eagle vs the hawk punks

Red-tailed hawks for sure. It's 2x1, obviously the eagle's going to run
The two other birds looked like red tail hawks.
That eagle pulled off some cool stunts. Did you see that spin move?
The Hawks definitely have a nest in the area. Ariel combat at its finest
Great video!
Lol that spin move at 2:00
Awesome video! Where was it taken?
dat barrel roll though 1:56
Suddenly the hawk do a cobra manuever daaaaammmnnnn
speechless
So let me get this right, you were in a 4G, in an inverted dive with a MiG-28?
dut4 ...And we have a photo, giving him a salute....you know, the bird.....lol
dut4 three years later, and you still win the internet!
Great footage. Where was this filmed?
Man oooo kill im !! That eagle is a beast!! Too fast and badass for the hawks
Carlos Valenzuela
the eagle clearly had that under control look at those dodges with ease..
Raptors are extremely territorial and it appears this eagle unwittingly entered into the hawks territory, which is approx a 2 mile radius from their nest site. The pair of hawks could have easily done some real damage to the eagle, but it's obvious it was a mere warning to move along.

He was waiting for one to interlock to take them into a dive. Would have been pretty cool to watch

John Harrison can and have ???? No record of it at all , don’t spread lies dude
I would like to know what do you use to video the clip? the quality is awsome
This is the bird version of Top Gun.😂😂😂😂
what city was this i saw a couple bald eagles last week in milpitas ca protecting there young on a nest as one would sit the other bring back food.
Looks like a falcon, a hawk and of course a bald eagle.lol
1:49 he was like FALCON PUNCH!!..
that 180 flipping over was good
Awesome video.
I gotta ask. What were you shushing at 0.05?
1 f-15 vs 2 f-16's
Bruh! I love this comments more than you realize
falcon? no they arent. they're BAE hawk.
+Haris Eka bae is Danish for poop so please tell me how that makes any sense at all?
+William Regal err.. because they're hawk?

When the eagle did a barrel roll 😵
F22 vs two F16's....ehehehe
Hey guys watch bald eagle vs grizzly bear looks like the bear is russia and the the US is the eagle
Bald eagle(F22) can do cobra manuever, falcon(f16) cant
Haha, good comparison :)
F-22 is a raptor... Think you mean f-15 eagle
Reaper bifxxx
We have Two Bogeys approaching to cliques south
