I actually witnessed this event driving from Davis, Ca to Sacramento, Ca. early one evening just a few weeks ago. There were at least three red tailed hawks participating in the hunt and I saw one of them successfully catch a bat. It was pretty cool....
Odd, living in Texas to have the BBC treat this as an exotic land with exotic wildlife. This must be how the Australians feel when tourists gawk over the kangaroos.
@Roger Edgerton I take it that you have no love for Texans? I'm not native to this state, so I can't say much about the average "Texan dolt", but I have become accustomed to the terrain and wildlife and so they seem ordinary due to the familiarity.
Thank you for this clip. I still like to watch the bats come out at night from the Congress street bridge, only 1.5 million bats compared to 15 to 20 million at the Bracken Cave and about 12 million at the Frio Cave. So glad the Bat Con International was able to preserve the land adjacent to the Bracken Cave, to help protect the bats and people.
One of my neighbors used to grow a field of sunflowers. It would attract doves for miles. The doves would get so fat they we slow and couldn't fly very far. The Red Tailed Hawks would pick the right out of the air and sit over by my electric pole and chow down leaving piles of feathers. These hawks would get so big you could mistake them for eagles.
The hawks that are the best hunters will keep coming back through the season like was said. The hawks don't have much of any significant impact on the vast number of hawks. There's the nunace you were looking for.

Imagine being a hawk and 20 million cheese burgers with wings start flying out of a cave.
My fat man senses are tingling
You can see it in Austin Texas
'Murica!
What the fuck are you smoking
Tobias would be in heaven.
Wow imagine the strength and precision it takes not only to grab one bat, but to get a second. Those talons and grip are unreal.
My god that footage was incredible
Drone camera i think
oh my god, you think thats REAL?
You should see some of the REAL stuff.

That slow motion is absolutely outstanding and amazing!
I live in the Dallas area and these hawks are everywhere. It's crazy how often I see them catching other birds in parking lots and over busy streets.
girl you are beautiful.read my name.
They should definitely bring David Tennant in for more documentaries. He has such a lovely voice and his accent is charming as heck.

Red hawks live all over the USA, not just Texas. I’ve seen a lot of them in Utah, and Colorado and some times even in Nevada.
@@trayvonjackson4830 Even more amusing then
I once seen a red hawk in Michigan

Well he does say that it’s the largest gathering of mammals or some shit
Excellent camera work!
You know who the real predator is? The guy who filmed this! If you read this, I just want to say: “you are a BEAST!”
the "guy"? it's 2018. how about person.
"Person" It's 2018. How about homosapien.
Hanns guy?person?i think they used a drone
Aizrhah Napiloy so the homo sapiens, person/ guy operating the drone !

Well .. there may be more humans than bats in the world but in terms of them gathering in a spot, bats set the record

Yeah he does a lot of voiceover for BBC.
thanks i thought so
Scottish and British accents are music to my American ears :)

Any bats in Illinois
I need this guy to get rid of these annoying Seagulls in our neighbourhood waking everyone one up at 5 o'clock in the morning
Dave Tennant and nature, that's all I need
You just gotta love how they dive bomb.

@Hector Diaz nope
It amazes me how they fly around and don’t hit each other

Actually they do - often if you watch bats in slow motion there's a lot of "Sorry dude" - "Sorry dude..."
Love our red tails, Great Horned Owls. All of the birds of prey we have here on the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland.
I guess the real badasses can catch one on each talon while holding one in their beaks. Legendary!
Love the soundtrack and narration with this! Have watched it over and over!!
Who else is watching this around 2:00 am?
King savage Red lion 2 1:00 pm

I think we found one of Batman's hideouts
Mexican Batman's hideout ;)
This is probably the best camera work, I have seen.

I have lots of red tailed hawks in my backyard. I love watching them
All The Bat's🦇 versus Red-Tailed Hawk
Red-Tailed Hawk is out numbered
Eventually bat's will win

Red Tailed Hawks are such gorgeous bird's ❤❤❤❤❤
Birds of Prey so cool
This isn't Birds of Prey this is about the Hawk.

Ironically bat's are more related to primaries than rodents.

The bats didn't come from Mexico to breed, the Bracken cave bats are a predominantly female gathering which live there and go *to* Mexico to breed.
Build a higher wall to keep the Mexican bats out. :¬}
That’s David Tennant narrating! I can definitely hear that…I didn’t know he narrated any of these
Spectacular visuals!
I feel satisfied by this guy’s voice and accent
The audio and the editing is also impressive!
Bats do more good than any hawk could possibly do
Here in Western NY, . . Red Tail Hawks are common. We also have Ospreys!
This is the closest you can get from T-tax (hawks) eating humans (bats)
Oh god I don’t want to be eaten by TurboTax!
My favourite animals are hawks,bats and croco
Never expected that hawk had a chance of eating million burgers
Camera work is incredible ..... very skilled camera guy

Love it! Good stuff..
Have you heard of stellaluna?
I love raptors, this was a great Video
Red tail hawk,free tail bats such beautiful names
Batman is not happy...
Cameraman deserves more credit than the hawk for that catch!
Seriously sweet camerawork

Talonflame vs Zubat horde
That is incredible behavior for a buteo. I've never heard of a red tail catching anything on the wing!
I've heard that they do but on rare occasions. Most prefer hunting from a perch and don't even hunt on the wing much.
Apex predators at their finest I love it!!
Were people filming me??? Let me hunt in peace!
Glad to see Tobias is still around.
I was looking for this specific comment.
You know why............cause AM BATMAN🦇!
Hawkman vs the entire bat-family!
wheres batman when u need him?
Great video, especially the slow motion.
Reminds me of Harry Potter trying to catch his Hogwarts letter.
This is so accurate XD
Olympic level hawks can catch a bat in each claw and one in their mouth.
insanely awesome footage!
That ain’t no hawk! It’s nothin’ but bats!
Bruh didnt expect to see a ref to that herr
Caught 2 bats . Amazing.
Of course BnZ tactics work best when you have a speed and weight advantage and your prey is in an uptiered agility airframe.
I love classical voice of presenter
There's someone hunting batman .
20 million bats eating mosquitoes and bugs. That’s a lot of insects .
What is the height of the hawk
Depending on whether it is a female which are bigger then males the range is 19 to 22 inches and only about 2 to 3 pounds.
Now all the Hawks are quarentined 😂😂
Dude sounds like shellington from Octonauts😂
Absolutely incredible footage! 👍 👍 👍 😊 ☺️
Hail the Cameraman!
Wow amazing. Flight.
If you listen to this while translating “bat” to “illegal Mexican” and “hawk” to “ICE,” in your mind, it’s hilarious and accurate.
Those experience Hawks always bat a thousand huh😂
Why would you want to eat a flying mouse?....lol
That Bird will have to isolate for 14 days
BEAUTIFUL.
Here in Brazil, I noticed that bats counter the hawks by chasing them.
What the fuck
Brazil is fucked
I’d be pretty upset and confused if I saw a bat hunt a hawk😂
Caught bat: Of all the bats,.....
Raptors are so badass
I saw that sky and said. Yep. That’s Texas alright!
Tuah?
One of these Hawks flew down in front of my car last night for a frog .. maybe looking for bats too. Terrifyingly beautiful bird
There’s two in my residential neighborhood. I saw one catch a bird and eat it today. It was pretty amazing!
