A birds eye-view

This is great!

very cool.

I'm very intrigued by the bird's flight direction, particularly at the end. There was a documentary shot using cameras strapped to birds like this that aired late last year. Unfortunately, we didn't get to watch it before our DVR crapped out. I'm going to need to dig that up.

It was called "Winged Planet"!!

Wow!

Amazing cinematography - attach a camera small enough not to affect the bird's flight.

I've always wondered what it would be like to fly like a bird. I think he was soaring the entire time.

Thanks for the post.

Ahhh to be a bird. That is cool.

I remember seeing this video of Goshawks. Their maneuverability is oustanding. Here's a quick video but the resolution is poor.

Did a Google and watched a 2:09 minute snippet of "Winged Planet: Gannets Turn Into Missiles"

Amazing video. Looks like there's a whole bunch more here:

Winged Planet : Discovery Channel

Netflix has a 2001 series called "Winged Migration" - looks very similar, but I bet the tech has improved over the years.

Thanks

Eagle Cam! Nice. Makes me wish I could fly . . . Not!
