Interesting side note: If you are hiking and you see a Peregrine Falcons' nest, absolutely do not go anywhere near them. They are extremely fierce protectors as well as predators and their talons are razor sharp! They will rip you open like a white hot knife through butter. These are my absolute favorite birds: beautiful, majestic, deadly, and the fastest! 😎
Peregrines like other falcons actually have rather weak feet, so they would probably punch you instead and yes when falcons hunt they ball up their feet, so their killed come from blunt force
My dad used to have a Peregrine for falconry. She was such an excellent hunting bird, even took down a Canada goose once! However, what I really remember her for was that she had a rather distinctive call. It was something like the ee-chup call, but it sounded more like she was shouting expletives at us.
Been hearing the wailing call a lot recently in San Francisco. Totally guessing but it seems to be a breeding pair defending their territory from an invading one. Scares the hell out of the other birds
Peregrines mainly go for birds in flight but it’s not unseen for one to go for rats and small mammals. As is the case with falcons. That is why the giant black stripe under their eyes are there, to help em see better in flight. But if we’re talking about Red Tailed Hawks or Goshawks or eagles, then yeah your cat probably will be dinner.
Anyone fascinated by falcons has to read J. A. Baker's book The Peregrine. There is no plot; it's a diary of one man's fascination with a pair of falcons that he observes from October through the following April, in East Essex, England in the early 1960s. Falcons were an endangered species in the UK at that time due to pesticide use, and he wanted to document what he was seeing before these birds might go extinct. The book is a classic of its kind. There is no human presence in it, but it is fascinating to note the change in language by the author as the months go by, such that he himself seems to become one of the birds he is watching. It is so beautifully written that I return to it every two years or so, eager to enjoy it again and again. It never get old.
Lately I’ve been seeing them a lot here in Tx. Started off by seeing one. Then next day a pair for a few weeks and just the other day I seen three of them and then a few days later the three again with a huge hawk. When they dive it gives me chills lol so amazing they are that fast. Such an amazing bird.
Peregrines are mostly silent away from the nest. You’re not likely to hear any of these calls away from the breeding grounds. To see a Peregrine, your best bet is to visit their hunting grounds-lakes, marshes, and sea shores. Watch flocks of ducks and shore birds- if there is a falcon overhead, they may freeze in position and go utterly quiet, or all start screaming at once (falcon alert). Then watch for a large dark bird shaped like a crossbow to come swooping through the flock. That will be the Peregrine.
Just had two peregrine falcons fly over my garden five minutes before I posted this comment,making the kak kak call as they passed food between each over. Most likely a breeding pair or adult and sub adult. Came on TH-cam to ID the birds call and this was exactly the sound which identified the species
@@harrymillar4193 Lots of different raptors fly by there. Bald eagles, golden eagles, turkey buzzards, hawks, falcons, even saw a seagull and heron once. I wasn't the guy who named it.
It's cute because now the mocking birds are imitating their sounds. They fooled me already a couple of times this week. The sound was coming from the large bush that reaches our second floor deck and i kept hearing the screeching. Scratching my head, I was surprised they would hang out in such a bush, that's when i saw the mocking bird and watched as it imitated those bigger and badder than he.
Peregrines nest on top of a high rise in downtown St.Paul. My previous dentist's office was on the 17th floor of a neighboring building and you could see them swooping around dive-bombing pigeons.
I live on a pond and we have a handful that made a home around here. They don't even bother with the thousands of water and song birds, squirrels, rabbits or mice. It seems these are total Pescetarians. They dive right into the water from the highest limb of a tree, catch fish and go back up to eat it. They're beautiful creatures.
Just the other day I caught a fleeting glimpse of either a falcon or a hawk flying sideways with a fish that a seagulls had in its break and was flying sideways the other direction, fighting to hold onto its meal. This battle swooped by, going behind my 92 year old grandmother's head within 5 feet while we were sitting on our deck. About an hour later, i went in the yard to bring our dog out and the fish they fought for was laying within a foot of the water. Dots of blood on its scales from where the talons had it. Sad it died in vain, but the air battle for over it was a (brief) sight to see
I would like to correct myself. After further review, the birds in the tree are not falcons, but rather Red Tail Hawks!!! They are beautiful to listen to and watch but I do not want to see them catch their food. I saw two going after a squirrel and luckily the squirrel got away with me banging on the glass window. They are known for going after cats. I watch mine everytime she goes outside.
I have found 3 birds (last years fledge) and a nest, I cannot tell if they are red tail or peregrines, both numerous here; Indiana, we also have nesting bald eagles
This call is lower, longer, and raspier than a merlin’s: which is much higher and repeats more quickly. Merlins around my neighborhood make a high-pitched ‘giggling’ sound.
If I look outside my window there’s a nest and I waited so long to see what it was and it was my favorite animal: peregrine falcon there so beautiful the only thing that’s annoying is that at night the baby make sounds but like it’s a baby and one time a fucking owl attacked the falcon and the falcon chased the owl and I never saw the owl again
I always laugh at “fastest animal on earth” - they’re only fast because they fall from the greatest height. An elephant would be fastest if you dropped it from a plane.
Nope sir... Shape counts as well... the aerodynamic shape of a diving falcon will have a clear advantage over the bulbous shape of a falling elephant However, acceleration due to gravity on all is the same
@@kolawolegbolahan935 Oh I agree of course ! But the falcon is NOT the fastest because of its strength or power - it goes up higher than anything else, then it falls. So put the elephant on a slimming diet and teach it to fall trunk first, and according to newtons apple experiment, they are falling at the same rate Let’s make it less silly - take a sparrow, put it in a tight aerodynamic tuck, then drop it from falcon height: Holy cow the sparrow is the fastest animal in the world ! Yeah right - congratulations to........gravity
@@patrickbrennan2864 😂 where you pecked on the head as kid to be this sarcastic towards the falcon 🤣 Actually, I get your point... So it's the fastest cos it's skilled at diving yeah?
it wouldn't actually ,the peregrine exceeds gravitational terminal velocity,the disappointing aspect here is it doesn't explain the sounds and what they mean,which are : mate call/demand ,,juvenile begging,,threat call and breeding engagement

I live in Oklahoma and don't see alot of falcons. Today i heard a peregrine and finally got to see it dive. I'm crying from joy
I felt the same seeing a red-tail hawk on a fence about 12 feet away from me two months ago. That dive must have been something.

I've never seen one before
Yeah.
Geese crazy, don't trust a bird with teeth, that is a dinosaur and will kill you if given the opportunity.
How does ee-chup sound like an expletive? 😁
@@AlanTClark It wasn't exactly like ee-chup, it was just the sound most similar to her actual call, which sounded more like a repetitive F*** You
I was bird watching one day and one swooped down so fast without stopping and grabbed a bird, I was shocked. Their speed is amazing!
They are the fastest for a reason
They can reach a diving speed of 185
Been hearing the wailing call a lot recently in San Francisco. Totally guessing but it seems to be a breeding pair defending their territory from an invading one. Scares the hell out of the other birds
They are like the Lions of the bird world you know
There is a nest in my neighbor's backyard some 25 yards up in a tree.
I just don't want my cat to be swooped away. They are beautiful to observe.

Trust me, falcons have no interest in cats. Their primary prey are wood ducks, rodents, and pigeons, which explains why I see them all the time.

I've seen these birds so many times. I live in a forested area in Winnipeg, so they're more common here
cool, I have never seen them before
@@freesoundeffects8129 they're very beautiful
And you've seen one in Egypt
Lately I’ve been seeing them a lot here in Tx. Started off by seeing one.

got one of these living in a tall pylon just by my house I hear the wailing sound regularly like a squeaky wheelbarrow ha
If I were you it will be in my dinner that day

Airgun it

the wailing noise seems to scare pigeons
Such a cool bird there are a ton in Illinois! I love seeing them perch up and fly around soaring
I'm in Central Il and have a Pair here in my Silver Maple tree the past few weeks.
So Magical sounding 🥰✨✨✨
Hawks are such beautiful creatures. Birds in general never fail to fascinate me.❤
I love the fact that they can fly, I would love to fly one day hahaha
bruh it’s a falcon

See these ALL the time. i live near Hawk Mountain, so yeah.
You see FALCONS all the time because you live by HAWK mountain?

Now I know what type of bird I heard. I heard sound number 3 at 5am (dark).

Sounds like Osprey not a peregrine
There's a couple in front of my apartment at the top of the church tower. I was wondering what kind of falcons they were.. now i know ! Thanks !!
so this is what it sounds like near DIO's mansion
Yes.
Esse animal e lindo e expecial
just came here 'cuz i've been reading a manhwa about a falcon to envision what they sound like other than the font style "SQUAWK!".
same here, was it a "carrier falcon princess "?
@@yadanansomjaipeng2405 yes maybe
Good to know, thanks
thank you for these videos!!!!!!!!
Airazor beast mode
I have a mockingjay that does all of these through late night early morning
Like a pet?

theres a couple of these nesting in the bridge above where we launch our boat
itsa baby!!!!
I use to put up tower cranes and have had a couple of these attack us while putting up a crane
Falcons don’t attack humans just eagles attack humans sometimes
Nice video
Thanks

I'm out camping...... excellent. Not in a horrible way.
Cool, camping is fun
Used this to scare my budgies to shut up worked
😍
I play this to seagulls who annoy me 😎
I play it to crows and they vanish!
Idk how to tell the difference between this call and a merlin falcons. Any tips?
Peregrine falcon on TH-cam. All 4 sounds.
This call is lower, longer, and raspier than a merlin’s: which is much higher and repeats more quickly. Merlins around my neighborhood make a high-pitched ‘giggling’ sound.
0:55
Thr chitter call is exclusively for mates 😏 it means they like you. Eagles are even more fluent with this call they're saying many things
If I look outside my window there’s a nest and I waited so long to see what it was and it was my favorite animal: peregrine falcon there so beautiful the only thing that’s annoying is that at night the baby make sounds but like it’s a baby and one time a fucking owl attacked the falcon and the falcon chased the owl and I never saw the owl again
And saw a golden eagle but where can I find bald eagles like I saw falcons,golden eagle, but never a bald eagle btw im in Europe
Where's its like signature call?
All 4 sounds are on TH-cam under Peregrine Falcons.
If you mean the screech, you could be thinking of a red tailed hawk. I got those two confused before.
Cheetah is like- toh me kya karun? Job chod doon

I don't think so, when skydiving you can position your body to fall faster or slower. The Falcon is very good at that and that's why they are fast
