National Audubon Society’s HAWKS Up Close | VHS rip | 1992

The fastest creature that ever lived in a hawk - the Peregrine Falcon - and it’s still flying today, in some of America’s biggest cities. In fact, ever since the first humans looked skyward, it’s likely we’ve been inspired by these majestic birds to dream of flight. For many of us, hawks are the embodiment of nature’s speed and power. Spend 55 fascinating minutes with the 30 species of hawks with whom we share our North American continent. Celebrate the speed, agility and other adaptations which have sculpted the hawks’ forms to perfection. Watch them strike their prey, court their mates and raise their families, and meet them in the thousands at their migration funnelling points in Hawks Up Close.
