And I thought Luke and Leia were great on the Forest Moon of Endor.

That goshawk is impressive going through the trees. I wouldn't try that with an F-4 !!

Great stuff! Amazing birds.

Thanks for the links!

If you ever find yourself in San Diego area in Jan-Feb you should make time to head out to Hawk Watch at Wildlife Research Institute in Ramona. This year we went out and saw alot of birds including a one of a kind in the world Peregrine-Aplomado Falcon that had been crossbred and a Goshawk that the owner uses for hunting. Informative and great photo ops abound.
