Hawks in Flight (2008):

Run length: 12 seconds

Summary: A number of hawks soar through the Michigan sky in May, hunting their prey.

Comments: On the day I took the footage for this video, I was returning to a spot where I had noticed some recently hatched baby ducklings a couple of days earlier. I never did get any good footage of the ducklings. I did, however, notice a number of hawks circling around the area and flying fairly close to the ground, so I photographed them instead. Possibly the two subjects may not have been unrelated - It could well be the hawks were hoping to dine on young duckling (with the ducklings, of course, hiding and hoping to avoid that fate!)
