Mate an me were hunting the Rangitikei river faces some years ago. Could hear a couple of falcon hunting in a gut below. They then came up to our height and parked up on some rocks about 20m away. They must have been discussing strategy, as the big one then flew over right in front of us and started jumping all over a small shrub out on a rock outcrop, screaching as it did so. Two small birds made a run for it and the the smaller falcon sitting back bursts into action and hammers one of them. Pretty cool to see it all unfold right in front of our noses.
An interesting point as the only raptors that are documented as working together are the South American Harris Hawks. They hunt in packs.
