Can't imagine how it was filmed.

Wow... powerful film. And you are right. How in the world did they film from some of those positions?

And we wonder why we sometimes miss when squirrel hunting. lol

Beautiful!

They had to have a lot of small, very sensitive cameras set up. Did you ever see the one where a young eagle (think it was an eagle) decided that a camera set up by scientists to observe wildlife was food and he grabbed it and flew off with it? Not so much bird's-eye-view as prey's-eye-view...

That was incredible! I have a hawk who likes to use the top of my metal chimney spark guard as a lookout. The unmistakable sound of his talons and feet I hear inside quite loudly. We have an unacceptably high death rate of hawks, who are hit by cars when they cross main roads here, while zooming-in on fiield critters. I hate to see their bodies and broken feathers on the road, but may only hope that the gene pool of hawks becomes stronger as those smart enough not to get hit by vehicles reproduce. We are destroying their habitat at such a rate, they sit atop electric/telephone/cable poles as their vantage points, for miles. We may see the end result of our greed lying motionless on the road, their feathers sometimes blown by the breeze, giving the illusion they are still alive, but their flattened bodies exposing the truth.

Man, if that squirrel had had a middle finger! What a survivor. This time. As for R1derbike, won't be long when most birds will be gone. Feds say it's OK for windmills to kill the very eagle that the "government" protected for years. Hundreds of thousands of birds being killed each year and you don't hear a word, even from the "environmentalists."

Read recently California is having a "war of the environmentalists..." Apparently that giant solar farm is killing birds by heating up the air too much. Renewable energy is great... now just figure out how to keep it from killing the animals.
