So after that jarring introduction, check out this video about falcons and the gos hawk. The second bird's flight reminds me of the speeder bike scene from Return of the Jedi. How this creature can maneuver so deftly in a dense forest amazes me. I bet it's wicked good at vertical shooter games. The falcon has always fascinated me, they dive so incredibly fast and pull Gs that would make a human pass out or die.
Mankind has always envied and revered birds for their ability to soar above our world. Many ancient cultures worshiped them as gods, attributed them magical powers, and sought to join them in the sky either physically or spiritually. They never got to see a view from the back of one, so maybe you'll feel the same way after this clip.
