    An incredible bird accomplishes an amazing feat!


    A Bird's Eye View!

    On Saturday, 14th March, an eagle was fitted with a camera . . . and "Eagle-cam" and took flight from the world’s tallest 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 is how smooth the flight is with no camera shake whatsoever.

    The 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 then drop like a bullet to that trainer... very cool

    Here is the film. Enjoy. Truly amazing !!

    That was so cool! I loved watching it look around, then spotting his landing area and nose diving. Incredible!
