That's the camera at duke farms in nj. Unbelievable video. Really shows the parental instinct animals have to protect their young.

I don't know what that redtail hawk was thinking...that's like a housecat jumping into a lion's den looking for a meal...not too smart

The whole thing happens so quickly. I think the hawk was essentially dead in the first 20 seconds. I had to click on the start and pause button really fast to get a good understanding of how that fight panned out.

 

Play and pause it, and watch the eagle's head through the whole fight. It was always in control and never takes his eyes off of the hawk.

 

Probably one of the fastest and most thorough nature beat-down videos I've ever seen.

Great video, size difference is too much for the hawk, a bad move and his last.
