Very cool. Interesting to watch the stall develop as the airflow spills backwards over the leading edge.

Agreed.

I liked the follow through also. He has landed probably tens of thousands of times and still sees the landing all the way through. I need to get there with my trigger dicipline. LOL.

Thanx for the vid.

around falconry some what and belonging to the Indiana Falconery assoc, this bird was not attacking the camere. There wasfor sure a live small something teethereed inb front of the camera set up for this owl. They oly hunt for food, not for fun and they don';t attack cameras, but it was fascinating and I wonder jus thow much time it took for this to all get right for the video to be so so awesome.

Ind Indiana we are allowed Red tail hawsk and Harris hawks for falconry use, and trusrt me they only kill and hun t for food. u train that way to, as u never hunt a bird like this on a full stomach or u might net ever see him again. Fascvinating sport but very very time consuming to.

Ditto, I could not help watching over and over, watching the "control surfaces"... jeeze. The arc of each wing separately as ailerons, the subtle extension and spread of each wingtip feathers independently, the air over the leading edge (as was already mentioned), the total braking and "spill out" at the last second.....

And the eyes. The eyes never looked down, never looked away... they were fixed on some single point, and thats where they remained throughout the final approach and touchdown.

Totally amazing

Course I have never heard of an eagle/owl, nothing surprises me, they probalbly meet in some bar one night and bingo. little eagle/owls.

Thanks for the post. Just amazing.

Dang! I was just enthralled with the cameraman lying on his back with his zipper down to attract the owl!

Once while rabbit hunting an owl let me know that I was getting too close to her nest. After a few close passes I decided to hunt elsewhere. Cool video, Jocko.

Can we train em for that NJ has lots of em and they are very protected by Senator Menendez (Rather Ironic That Spanish Surname)

Very cool...The look on the owls face would scare the pellets out of me if I was a rabbit...
