Real bird flight video puts wing suit to shame - Filliam H. Muffman - 04-12-2009

The camera this was filmed with must be very light because the bird gains a couple thousand feet of altitude almost effortlessly. The music might not be to everybody's liking but I thought it was nice.

That was cool! Thanks for the link.
Some of other posted ones not so cool, i.e. bull vs lion, pitbull vs terrier, etc. Didn't watch them. Just a side glance to a few titles.

I've owned this video for years and still put it in whenever I feel the need to remove myself temporarily from the life I'm in. Tonight might be one of those times.

Reminiscent of PBS's 'Raptor Force' http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/episodes/raptor-force/introduction/1109/ show from a few years ago.
Luckily, I saved it to DVD and have watched it several times.

It might have been raptor force that put a camera on the back of a peregrine falcon - the speed during the dive is stunning.

might have been BBCs Life of Birds
