Observation details
Seen together in same or adjacent trees. At one point a group of AMCR flew by and the falcons took off, displaying their far superior aerial prowess, needless to say the crows did not stick around. One of the falcons was visibly larger when seen in flight. This bird flew directly over me, paralyzing me from even reaching for my camera...such amazing flight, I couldn't look away. This was the longest amount of time (to date) that I've gotten to watch these birds in flight, and in moments like this it feels as if time stops, leaving just you and the falcons! Without a doubt, one of my top 5 favorite birds.
