An Eagle's flight from the top of the world’s tallest building to his handler below. You can see him looking, looking, looking for the trainer, invisible to a human eye, then fold his/her wings and drop like a bullet to that trainer... very cool.
On Saturday, 14th March, an eagle was fitted with a camera . . . and "Eaglecam" and took flight from that building, the Burj Khalifa, in Dubai . Here is the film. The eagle would have no idea where that speck of land was or what it looked like. It actually had to pick out and recognize the trainer. What surprises me is how smooth the flight is with no camera shake whatsoever.
Here's the film.

Neat! i watched p. Falcon on utube amazing also, said they can hit 200 MPH in dive. The one I saw was high over his nest on cliff bank. Red tailed hawk got too close to the nest and the falcon dove on it clipping at 180 MPH, the red tailed then spun out of control to the ground.
