Hawk vs. Turkey Round Two

Tuesday, September 20, 2016 - A red-tailed hawk makes multiple attempts to take out a wild turkey hen at the New York Botanical Garden. The turkey lived to run another day. I want to thank all the folks who have left comments regarding my video. Much appreciated. I wanted to address a few issues: I've been observing red-tails hunt at the NYBG since 2008. The hawk in this video was trying to KILL and EAT the turkey. Not chase, not injure, not drive away. He might not have been able to carry it away. No problem. He would have eaten the turkey where it lay. I've seen these hawks kill l prey larger than themselves then start munching away. This same red-tail tried to kill this turkey two other times only to be outsmarted by the turkey. Great stuff. Thanks for all the great comments. Keep them coming.
