I know that I posted this up before, but it's worth a second look:

An 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.

On Saturday, 14th March, an eagle was fitted with a camera . . . and "Eaglecam" and took flight from that 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 me is how smooth the flight is with no camera shake whatsoever.

Here is the film. Enjoy. Truly amazing !!

So I had myself an adventure the other day. I'm sitting in the living room, minding my own when I catch movement in the corner of my eye. For a second I thought I was just really high and hallucinating life into my laptop's power cord. After I checked that I wasn't having a mini-stroke or something, I realized it must be the apocalypse, so I grabbed my camera and my meat-shield, I mean husband, to meet the end head on. After watching it through the safety of glass.

I thought it was pretty awesome until I heard my voice on it :disgust: so I threw some music on it. Then it got wicked awesome. Then I thought "Hey, I know some peeps who might dig this as much as I do!" I really like to watch the second one with a good mellow on :whoa:

If I'm too vaked to make much sense, we're talking about a snake. I know some people don't like 'em, so videos are under the spoiler.

Thanks for that @Eschient! I was wondering what that thing wanted… Real world life and death drama right outside your own window!

Right? It was like Wild Kingdom out there. We've been getting dive-bombed by bluejays lately, too because of those tree frogs.

This wasn't exactly outside my window {we were out to lunch}, but I'm expecting it any day now. We've got a flock of snowy egrets that cruise the neighborhood stalking the lizards like this guy, but they tend to keep their distance from the house.
