Baby Hawk in the Eagle’s Nest
On a rare occasion, a hawk baby thrown into an eagle’s nest, destined to be food, will actually bond with the eagle babies and live. But that doesn’t mean they're friends for life. The hawk baby often struggles to get food and to see the eagle mom feed a hawk baby in her nest, that is a rare sight indeed.

Coming soon:
a 30 minute short film, shot over multiple days with all natural sync sound from location. You can see the detail in the iris and hear the difference between the hawk baby and the eagle babies. Every screech, footstep and wing flap, every cricket and bird in the background was painstakingly recorded on location and no other sounds were used. The result is a perfect natural visual and sonic impression of what it’s like to be a baby hawk growing up in an eagles nest. It’s like sitting on the branch next to them and watch them fight or get fed. You can feel the intensity of the situation, up to the last moment.
the nest is over 10 years old.
