Hiireviu, Buteo buteo

Hiireviu Harjumaal. Neid linde kutsutakse ka tantsivateks viudeks, sest hiireviudel on harjumus maanduda värskelt küntud põldudel ja seal "tantsida" üles-alla. See liikumine tekitab samasugust häält nagu vihmasadu, mistõttu peagi ronivad maa alt välja vihmaussid, kes muidugi kohe ära süüakse. Ei ole harv juhus, kus sellise tantsupõllu peale tuleb kokku suurem hulk viusid. Pildil olev isend vist pole suurem asi tantsulõvi, sest konutas hoopistükkis võsas.

Eurasian Buzzard in Harjumaa, Estonia. Their colloquial name "Dancing Hawk" stems from their habit of landing in open fields (often freshly worked) and dancing up&down - the noise made sounds like rain to worms and makes them rise to the surface. After that, of course, they get eaten by the buzzards. It is not unusual for groups of buzzards to do this at the same time in a single field. This buzzard, though, did not dance but sat silently in a thicket.
