A tubby suburban dad watching hunting and adventure shows on TV and wondering could I do that? This is the chronicle of my adventures as I learn to learn to Forage, Hunt and Fish for food that has lived as I would wish to myself - Wild and Free.

Birds Eye View
Peales tiercel wearing camera way up over Jackson Valley from Jason Jones on Vimeo.
I saw this on Tom Chandlers Trout Underground and thought you might like it too.
A Falconer has trained a Falcon to fly with a camera harnessed to it, AMAZING

Please feel free to leave comments. I really enjoy hearing what readers think. The rules are the same as round my dinner table:
You're welcome to disagree, life would be way too boring if we all agreed with each other and we'd never learn anything.
I like to think that we're all grown up enough to argue every last point, right down to the bone, without bearing a grudge afterwards.
Come on in the waters lovely

Wow, very cool! I wonder: Is he looking back at the irritating thing on his shoulders, or is there a bigger predator overhead? Looks like the camera is where the tadio transmitter usually is, so I'm going to guess the latter.
ReplyDeleteIt does look like he keeps wondering what the heck that thing is on his back. Very cool, still.
ReplyDelete*sigh* I want to fly... alas, last time anyone I knew tried it they broke both their legs... oh to be 8 years old and fearless again. Though I do like both my legs (and other limbs) where they currently are, you know, attached and all.
ReplyDeleteAmazing video.
Yo Wacker,
ReplyDeleteNice vid,I love birds,and birds heh heh heh.
*Ill get my coat*
Steve Bodio's wife Libby here: I lived in Wilson (visible in the later part of the video) for years during the 70's and early 80's -- I'm astonished at how developed and built up it is...the hay pasture behind my house is a subdivision now.
ReplyDeleteThe bird is obviously trying to figure out what the thing on her back is. (Female falcons are bigger than males and more likely candidates for backpack cameras).
Hi Libby
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking the time to comment and letting us know
