We were at Epcot and saw a raptor kill a duck and fly off with it. I have included video. What kind of bird is this?

Red-tailed Hawk. Raptors seem to go for the head/brains first.

Unfortunate for them,but oddly one of the more merciful ways an animal in the wild can go.

A lot of predators just catch and/or immobilize before tearing into the meal while it is still alive.

In an interesting twist the intestines is the most nutritious part.
