This video has gone viral with 3,000,000 views in less than a week. It hit broadcast news last night. One word: Cool.
“If you’ve ever marveled at the flight of an eagle and wondered about the perspective the majestic raptor enjoys, watch the video and wonder no more. The incredible footage was captured, via eagle-cam, over the famous Mer de Glace (Sea of Ice) glacier in the French Alps near Chamonix. Watch closely as the bald eagle soars above the hillside fringes of the glacial valley, and as it pumps its wings (at the 25-second mark), to gain more height and/or speed, and as it glides past people on the verdant slope.” (Source: Grindtv.com)
a new perspective is an amazing thing
It is…felt that way as I rode the back of this amazing creature
Amazing!
It is…
Wow that was so cool!! And congrats for making your weight goal!!
🙂 Yvonne, we’re close. Bouncing above and below the target. Maybe I should have set goal 2 pounds below my target weight. Maybe I wouldn’t be sitting on the bubble. 🙂
You are doing great! Keep it up ~ you are inspiring us all! 🙂
🙂 Thank you!
oh, to fly–only in my dreams and by watching this–kind of exciting!
It is LouAnn, it is.
I’ve always wondered what a ‘birds-eye-view’ was like…now I know. Fabulous!! 🙂
Amazing, right!?!
Absolutely!
That is amazing! I see what the ‘birds-eye-view’, and wonder what the eagle actually sees and noticing on the ride?
Yes, and what it’s looking for. Seems to be flying a bit low too…
And this is exactly why it saddens me to see birds caged…it truly is their gift to be able to fly. A wonderful video David…thanks for sharing. 🙂
It is wonderful Carol. Thank you.
I bet it’s chilly up there. Beautiful though.
He seems to have a decent coat to protect.
Uh-Mazing!! and, what Lori said! 🙂
Laughing. Yes!
This is spectacular. What a great video.
It is Maralee. Have to admit, I thought it was fake the first 2x I watched it. Then decided, no matter what, it was amazing.
I was just watching an episode of NOVA last night where they put small cameras on monitor lizards and the animals didn’t even seem to notice it. I guess it can be done.
Apparently it can and it is. And we can ride along. Incredible.
Marvelous. Isn’t it amazing that somebody would think to create this?
Yes! And the technology to capture it and share it with all of us. We live in an age of Wonder.
I want to fly like an eagle (that should be a song 🙂
It “should” be a song…:)
Thanks for providing a great experience for me. I have never flown with an eagle before.
Laughing. Nor have I…
Wow! That was a unique ride – I think I really did get to fly after all!! 😀
Yes, me too!
I’m so late to this discourse – I have nothing to add. Loved this soaring video..
Yes, we miss you when you are on vacation in far flung empires without wireless.
Very exotic – a farm near Bear Mountain.
Smiling. Exotic name.
