Flying with the fastest birds in the world


The video below contains some remarkable footage shot by cameras attached to peregrine falcons and goshawks. It's well worth watching.





Amazing! I marvel that they were able to mount the cameras in such a way as not to slow down the birds or get in the way of their wing muscles.

Does anyone else get the "speeder bike on Endor" feeling??

I know, I'm a geek.
