Fascinating!
Sitting on the front porch of our cabin a while back, I just happened to see one swoop out of the trees and grab a chipmunk that was running across the gravel road about 40' away from where I was sitting. Little guy never had a chance!

I find birds absolutely amazing. I've had parrots, currently have a cockatoo. They can skin a grape or a cherry and eat it, crack open a peanut, peel the peanut and eat it just with their beaks. I have fingers, can use a knife, and I can't come close to that!!! LoL :laugh:

Neat!
We were at the ~National Aviary~ in Pittsburgh two days ago and got to see some free flying hawks that live there (up close).
(but after being there, I have a new appreciation for vultures) :thumbsup:

Awesome. Dave, thanks for posting the vid, what a show.
Some raptors have telescopic vision, also. A narrow band of specialized cells in their eyes that actually provide some magnification. Thus the ability to see prey from very far above.
Just amazing creatures.
