An avian mini-drama unfolded before my mic one January day when a Red-tailed Hawk stooped from high up onto an American Kestrel. The Kestrel noticed the hawk just moments before he became a puff of feathers and escaped. He turned around and pursued the much larger hawk, harassing him mercilessly until he landed on top of a Saguaro cactus to wait out his punishment. The Kestrel dived and harassed for several minutes, finally leaving the Red-tail to lick his wounded pride. In this sample, the Kestrel is diving repeatedly and the Hawk responds with a scream, then a series of "barks" that I had not previously heard.

The American Kestrel, or Sparrow Hawk (Falco sparverius) is the smallest Falcon in the US. In this sample a male has "bounced" a Cooper's Hawk from a Cottonwood tree along the Verde River, in Central Arizona. He continued to chase and harass the Cooper's until they were out of sight. The sound is very like that of a Killdeer at a distance.
