I sure wouldn't want to try to strap a video rig onto an eagle that didn't want a video rig strapped on.
You'd need about 300 stitches before you could even say "Owwww!"

Don't gopro me!
I was only expecting one on an eagle bagging mission-- hard to grab two at once. The sibling put a talon scratch down the entire length of my face!
Chilling in the nest waiting to haul them back up after the biologist put tracking radios on them.

That, my friends, is bitchen.
However, technically probably it is Go-Am since I bet the eagle doesn't get any royalties.
Send that bird to the Minarets to look for Matt Greene.
No bird's eye view comments?
EDIT:
Didn't catch it the first couple runs through, but people show up at :22 and 1:17. Bird's shadow at :56.

I like seeing the shadow a couple times and seeing the eagle look around occasionally. But what is up with the clanking sounds in the soundtrack?

Super-cool video. I'm a little surprised there aren't more of these vids. Go-Pro's have been around for a few years now and falconry has been around for thousands of years.
Watching trained birds of prey do their thing is pretty incredible.
Thanks for posting this, it was a fun ride.

That's really cool.
In April I had a trip to the Verdon, on the day we left we went up to the rim for a final view and came across this crew, who were producing a film of the Gorge.
The day we saw them they were using the mini RPV, which was pretty cool. But the day before they had been using an Eagle, I presume with a rig like this.
I've yet to come across the results.

The gorge has been repopulated with Egyptian Griffon Vultures. These guys were flying early before the air warmed up, I guess to avoid air traffic conflicts.
