http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/raptorforce/video.html 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. Rodger R Pescadero , CA |
