Ferruginous Hawk in Slow Motion

If you’ve been following our blog, then you’d know that this video has been in the planning stages for quite a while. We had the footage, but never the time to put it all together. Hope it was worth the wait.

The footage is from the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum’s Raptor Free Flight program. Featuring the Ferruginous Hawk. Music by Kevin MacLeod.

Barrel Cactus Fruit vs. Two Cardinals

Footage captured at Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum with Casio EX-FH20 in slow motion (210 fps). At first a female Cardinal tries to pick up a Barrel Cactus fruit that’s larger than her head, but something spooks her away. A male gives it a go, but even though he’s persistent, the cactus fruit is pretty much intact when he finally gives up. Music by Kevin MacLeod.
