a Hawk catches a Duck

- Here's a wildlife thriller my wife and I witnessed in Constitution Gardens, Washington DC in May 2018.
I noticed a hawk patrolling the area around the pond - all of a sudden it went down. As I went to see where it landed - I found it sitting in the bush in an awkward position. Then I figured out he grabbed a duck. All that time the hawk was harassed by a red-winged blackbird, who actually ruined the hawk's plans.
How does that blackbird fly with those massive brass balls?
Whenever there's a hawk in our neighborhood the bluejays harass it relentlessly. I guess they have more maneuverability.
Their nests must be nearby ….
As the old saying goes ...Its not the size of the dog in the fight that matters. Its the fight inside the dog.
The redwing probably has a nest nearby, but the crows will always harrass raptors. Hawks really have it rough their 1st year 75-80% don't make it.
The red winged blackbird is like the head of the neighborhood watch program. Like an avian Curtis Sliwa.
The Curtis Sliwa of the marsh.
Little black bird is really pushing his luck.
Not really, song birds often dive-bomb birds of prey because they have the ability to do so. Swallows often attack birds of prey in groups and are very effective, they run rings round the bigger birds
1:30 hawk or duck
@@colonelsanders4006 saw three of them killed by a cat, one by one they just kept attacking and the cat ate them all.
@@freddangel are you talking about swallows or all song birds? my cat used to kill loads of song birds and leave them round the house, stinking up the place until I found them lmao
I have seen red wing black birds like this one almost ride a hawk and pull feathers as he did so.
That little black bird is brave.....risking his life to help save a another bird species...🐣🐦🦆...👍
looking out for her nest, propably!!
@@yiannimil1 protecting his territory
Who'll help a hawk then?
@@andreykostin503 hes on the top of the food chain he doesnt need help
@@E_Z_Etlar blsht man. You judge from any single creature side. I do from survival of species. Prey gets it by quantity, predators by quality. If duck dies there will remain hundreds of other ducks in the area nearby, if hawk mother dies, there will be a drop in its population.
It looks like the duck made her nest there. When she escapes, it looks like there are some eggs in the bush.
Thats the black bird’s nest
Black bird said not on my watch
Little black bird was like... yo let him go bro
I love how those black birds bomb-rushed its ass, almost as if screaming "Take your nuisance ass out of here now!"
I once was out bird watching and I saw a Northern lapwing do the same thing (attack) with a marsh harrier. Actually, I was laughing so hard!
Definitely looked like the blackbird was protecting the nest... It got really aggressive when the hawk got too close to the eggs, and even chased that hawk all the way to the treeline!
Birds are amazing. I’m still studying to be an ornithologist. That poor female mallard just survived a hawk attack and now she’s bombarded by horny males trying to mount her. If you ever notice a hawk or an eagle in the area, watch all the crows and songbirds band together and harass them. It’s very interesting. Similar to when humans discover a sex offender or a murderer. It’s like they all form an alliance against a menace to society.
The behavior you mentioned is called "mobbing." It is also a good way to find smaller owl species such as Eastern Screech, or Northern Saw-Whet Owls. Often if a raucous flock of songbirds is hanging around a tree or shrub, there is some species in there they want out. In the case of this video the assailant seems to be a juvenile Red-shouldered Hawk. Note the windows in the primaries as well as the long banded tail and extensive pale supercillium. The Crows in the background are Fish Crows due to their very nasal call. This pinpoints the video taking place somewhere in the American south-central/southeast.
I was watching that poor female mallard. She just can’t catch a break.
When I was in Coronado (San Diego), I saw how these little black birds were harassing the hawk. It was quite a scene and fascinating to watch. Fearless
Not all birds wear capes.
In fact none of them do.
When earning some bucks becomes more important than saving a pet duck,a small black bird appears to be the saviour
Those are nobody's pet ducks. It's nearly always best to leave nature alone. Don't interfere with nature. Is the hawk supposed to starve to death?
Black bird: “now get the fuck outta here!!!!”
Love the way the Redwing Blackbird is protecting the ducks nest.
That duck needs to give his life savings to that redwing blackbird
1:47 Meanwhile other ducks : time to mate
Black bird was fine the whole time and in no danger lol hawks dont attack unless they have stealth picking their target from above.
A hawk does not catch a duck*
It's a happy video. Thanks to the blackbird.
The blackbird wss marking its territory. It probably had a baby there
@@mercadv, definitely! That's what birds do when they see predators around their nests with babies in them.
I once saw a mocking bird make several attempts to drive a cat off. Unfortunately, the cat ended up catching it in mid air as it was flying off from delivering an attack on the cat. It was sad because I'm sure some babies starved to death following her death.
Hopefully the hawk will get a crow or pigeon meal instead of a duck meal.
What's happy about the hawk going hungry? This is about the balance of nature. They all are just going about trying to survive, including the hawk. One is not better than the other; one is not evil. They are all just trying to get along in life just like us.
@@virginiamoss7045 the hawk should not go hungry ideally it would go for a pigeon, crow or fox meal.
tiny Blackbird hero
I pray that more people like this black bird, risking their lives to help or save others.
Please stop anthropomorphizing animals.
The black bird could care less about the duck. It’s bothered by the fact that such a huge threat is near its nest.
Wow! The little blackbird saved the duck! Incredible!
Ms Mallard owes Mr Blackbird a case of beer.
Ms. Mallard was probably injured rather seriously and would require healing. Hopefully she will be able to get back on the nest with a good mate to feed her and the babies.
The expression "like a sitting duck" comes to Mind
*I knew everyone was gonna talk about the black birb with the red wings.* ;)
I think that little black bird was protecting a nest nearby!
Everyone keep saying that the black bird loopwas there to save the duck. If you look closely and zoom in, the hawk and the duck was on top of her nest. Once the duck was released, the hawk stayed on top of her nest looking like it was about to attack her eggs. That was she was ferociously nonstop attacking the hawk, she could careless about that duck! She wanted both of them to get off her fking Nest!!
The little black knight!
Feisty Redwing Blackbird was the liberator.
Wow…..blackbird is fearless !! Whatever he had for breakfast….I want some. Amazing video, thanks for sharing !!
Looks like Borat is into different kind of movies now
That little black bird is a bad ass!
all the tranquille birds be like why "can't you mean raptors leave us alone!"
raptors gotta eat, too!
Tough life for the Mallard female duck who was sitting on her eggs. First gets attacked by the Hawk as she was an easy target. Fortunately the black birds helped distract the hawk and let her escape. Possibly saved the eggs from Hawk as well. But then the female had to face the army of male Mallards (drakes) who were all trying to lay with her. I am not sure if she would have survived and nest would also have been destroyed.
You are one of the very few who can see reality for what it is without anthropomorphizing animals. The hawk took a pretty vicious bite out of her so she may be injured. Poor thing then has to be a victim of testosterone.
The brave little bird. True hero
The little black bird was protecting her nest!!
Please stop anthropomorphizing animals.
@@jamesgeorge5276 Correct, except that the nest was the duck's. That's where the saying "sitting duck" comes from. The female will stay on the nest no matter what. In this case easy prey for the hawk.
That black birds a fucking boss. No fucks given. Lol
Who's second one black bird
Those blackbirds don’t put up with threats to their nests, they dive-bomb humans too.
If someone can tell me why male ducks started attacking the female duck after her miraculous escape - please comment. This behavior remains a mystery to me.
These are mallards, and the hard truth is well...
Males will force the female to mate with them. In a weakened state she'd be a easier target. However I only seen a single male by her, which could just be her original mate guarding her fiercely.
Mallard Duck males sadly even have a higher rate of doing this when they have their own mates too.
Hope that helps!
(As messed up nature is for these females)
@@PestilentAllosaurus - Correct they are like a pack of rapists.
Jail* lol
I thought it could have something to do with her nest possible being destroyed from the attack so now she is naturally forced back into the mating cycle and the males can sense that she is back on the market whether she is even wanting to mate at that time or not, it's just nature her body sending signals telling her it's time to start a new nest because that one is destroyed and the males all want to take advantage of that
@@josephavalos7894 Unfortunately no.. Lost Coyote is pretty much 100% right, the other mallards will often mob any female within reach even till and after death.. male mallard ducks are really sexually aggressive. :/
The Red Wing is the only bird with balls!
a hawk is capable of wiping out all the little birds in an area
Hope the hawk finds another meal 💕
This summer I had the privilege of watching a bald eagle catching a fish out of the water. While I was fishing, it was an amazing experience. Can’t believe they can see a fish in the water from like 50+ feet in the air
They are on meth. Their pupils are dilated.
Duck said NO
Red winged black bird saved the day....😊👍
Please stop anthropomorphizing animals.
Hawk catches duck, red winged blackbird attacks hawk. Duck escapes, red winged blackbird continues to attack hawk, hawk moves off in failure.
A suggested new title for your video.
All birds vs hawk in the end lol
Меленькая птица конечно зверь, молодец 👍🏼
@Михаил на скворца похожа
Birds can harass raptors fairly risk-free by diving at them from above - whether on the ground or in the air. Eagles' and hawks' kill with their feet, if you can stay away from them you'll be OK. It's like when you see hyenas nipping at the rear ends of lions - staying away from the dangerous end. I saw (in a zoo) an arctic fox bite the back legs of a huge bear. By the time the bear swung round, the fox was well out of reach.
I've had red w8ng black birds dive bomb me while I was trying to see the baby crains. For such a small bird it is fearless at times.
The great escape.
Wow that hawk swooped down and attacked a female duck while all the males where just swimming around not seeing anything. Even landed on her neck or head or something to shut her up. The hawk probably had to move a bit to kill the duck and that allowed the female duck to get away. That black bird was more a nuisance. Thanks cool video!
Redwing Blackbird rules
To those wondering why the black bird was attacking, the man in the video explains that the hawk sat down on the bird’s nest, hence the aggressive display.
That is the duck's eggs. Ducks nest on the ground. They can't build nests in trees. He is aRusskee. What does he know?
Misleading title. This video clip showed a duck escaping from the clutches of a hawk.
did the hawk NOT catch the duck? the duck just managed to escape. The title is not misleading - it just saves the intrigue. If you'd rather prefer to know the end of a movie before you've watched it - well it's up to you
That duck trying to save face by beating up on his friends afterwards
The courage of a mother
That little bird is a hero
Please stop anthropomorphizing animals.
Buen video amigo, ( Córdoba Spain.)
The hawk didn't want the duck. It wanted the contents of the nest
Then why did it take a first-bite chunk out of the duck. It looked at the eggs like it was considering them, but it's not programmed to eat eggs so it took a while to figure out what to do next.
Male Red Wing Black Birds are very territorial and will mob anything that’s in their territory.
Wow! That little Red Wing Black Bird was a beast! He saved his neighbor! LOL! Later his buddies joined in on the harassment! Lucky duck!
I'm impressed by the little bird trying to catch the hawk!
It's attempting to drive it away. Do you really think such a small bird would "catch" a hawk? That's like a dog chasing and "catching" a car. Now what do you think it will do with it?
@@virginiamoss7045 feed it to the ducks obviously!
@@virginiamoss7045 now that you edited your post, I can better understand your train of thought. Yeah, it's also possible that he was gonna take the hawk for a ride, good point!
The red wing it really giving that hawk the business!
Little black bird is doing great job
Hey, hawks gotta eat too.
Nice video frend 👍👍👍
Duck has a nest there, you can see the eggs
hawks gotta eat too. that black bird giving it hell.
The black bird isn't trying to help the duck, it's trying to chase the predator away from it's territory. Birds where I live do this to my cats when they catch birds and when my cat lets the bird go and runs away the other birds immediately start trying to kill the escaped bird it's insane.
Crow Pheasant Protecting duck
Beautiful footage nature at its best thank you for sharing 🙏🏻
1:52 он её не топит, а топчет.
And old saying "you can catch the Devil--but you can't hold him for long". That duck did not become the meal.
get 'em BLACK BIRD
Little bird op
Animals behavior is a true reflection of us at times. Sometimes a stranger will risk live and limb to save you and some families wouldn’t bat an eye for. Life can be so tough.
The blackbird was not saving anything. It was trying to get rid of the hawk as nearly all birds do because hawks are a danger to birds. Please stop anthropomorphizing animals.
Great video of nature at work.
Black birds a legend
Those black birds run that park lol
Some loudmouth ruined that hawk's dinner! It was the human yelling at the hawk & duck that caused the hawk to lose its grip.
The title of the video should have been little black bird beats up on Hawk
The black bird is awesome
There are eggs also in the duck’s nest

A hawk does not catch a duck*
Что значит согнали - молодцы? А птенцы ястреба значит должны остаться голодными?
Найди его и собой накорми.
@@TheSsailan Артур Юрьевич, ты совсем дурачок, да?
Rather "Hawk loses a duck"
Coming..
That's a hawk NOT catching a duck.
The hawk also needs some food. Ducks are not endangered. But quite surprising that the hawk did not immediately killed the duck
Do duck survived?
Я думаю, это красный дрозд ... Я думаю
This is the thing that I like about Corvids Ie black birds from small to large crows they are fearless.
All the drakes proceed to bang the hen immediately after lol I seen 5 drakes go at a hen so bad before they drowned her smh
Ahh 😱.. That little black bird is the hero of the day 📣📣📣👏👏👏👏
Please stop anthropomorphizing animals.
Brave Blackbird... 🏅
Poor duck! :((
*Mallard
Too many male ducks there though
