Title: hawk vs night heron?
Post by: jnish on August 23, 2016, 01:50:25 PM
I witnessed a dramatic encounter between two birds at the marsh today.  I'm pretty sure one was a Night Heron and the other was a type of hawk.  I'm hoping you can identify both.  My adrenaline is still racing!

It's a Peregrine Falcon trying to get a Night-Heron meal.
