couple pretty awesome clips of Falcons diving to catch prey. One shot
is from a mini camera mounted on its back. pretty amazing.

I had a humorous encounter with a falcon while flying my hang glider
south of San Francisco along the ocean. While working a ridge at abut
800 feet AGL I had a falcon below and out in front of the ridge that
was hovering in the lift and screeching at every other bird that flew
buy. This section of the coast has a fairly constant stream of
seagulls and pelicans that pass through. I slowly flew up behind the
falcon and when I was directly behind it rotated its head 180 degrees
and laid it along its back. It looked directly at me raised one talon.
I got the message, backed off and want on my way. The falcon kept on
screeching at every thing that passed through.
