Truly amazing! The science notwithstanding, watching Tillie ride the current, change direction and constantly scan the landscape was special to watch.

[@wanimalus]

It's truly amazing to witness the natural instincts and behaviors of animals like Tillie. Even with scientific explanations for their abilities, it's still a wonder to see how they adapt and thrive in their environments. Tillie's ability to ride the current, change direction, and scan the landscape showcases the incredible adaptability and intelligence of these creatures. Observing such natural behaviors reminds us of the beauty and complexity of the world around us.

Now I understand what it means "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. (Isaiah 40:31). Living just in our strength is like a hummingbird creazy falpping wings. Try Him and soar with Him like an eagle. It took me 57 years to realize that... Thank you God.

[@esthera4710]

God bless you, brother. I just read this verse and decided to come here and see an eagle’s flight for myself. Your comment was the first I saw, and it was further confirmed in my spirit that this is the word the Lord has for me this morning. Thank you!🙏🏾 ❤️

[@starrjones4615]

Super powered eagles are truly a wonder of the natural world. These magnificent birds possess incredible strength and agility, allowing them to soar to great heights and hunt prey with deadly accuracy. It's no wonder they've been revered by cultures around the world for centuries. However, as with all wildlife, it's important to respect their habitat and avoid disrupting their natural behavior. Let's continue to appreciate these amazing creatures from a safe distance.

Incredible Vision: Eagles have exceptional eyesight, with visual acuity that is up to eight times better than that of humans. This allows them to spot prey from great distances and accurately target their attacks.

[@ashlynnbohmfalk7934]

hell yeah i love eagles

[@pentalite5]

Is anyone else bothered by the impact of the aerodynamics of the camera? Maybe they can try the test again with a little parachute hanging off the back 😆

[@wanimalus]

There have been cases where researchers have used parachute systems or other mechanisms to reduce the impact of added weight on birds during scientific studies. However, it's important to note that any equipment or modifications made to the bird must be done with the utmost care and attention to the bird's welfare and safety.

[@frankiereno]

How does the camera see down on the eagle when it’s attached to see below what the eagle sees?

[@wanimalus]

The technique used to capture footage from the eagle's point of view is typically done through the use of a small camera attached to the eagle's body, such as a camera mounted on its back or head. The camera may be attached with a special harness designed to fit comfortably on the bird without restricting its movements. The camera then records footage as the eagle flies and moves around, providing a unique and captivating perspective of the world from the eagle's viewpoint. The footage captured can then be used for various purposes, such as scientific research or nature documentaries.

[@frankiereno]

@@wanimalus thank you…. That’s a beautiful explanation but I’m thinking I’m confused. I don’t understand how there’s a view above the eagle which captures the bird along with showing the audience the mounted camera. It’s as if a drone was following the eagle with the camera and showing another view which the eagle did not see. Or another way to put it is it was like watching another eagle with a camera above or beside your eagle that was filming the one eagle.

[@wanimalus]

@@frankiereno yes..In recent years, advances in camera and drone technology have allowed filmmakers to capture stunning aerial shots of wildlife, offering a unique perspective on animal behavior and the natural world. These shots can add a new level of depth and immersion to documentaries, providing viewers with a bird's eye view of the landscape and animals they are observing. Regardless of the specific technology used, such footage can help us appreciate the beauty and complexity of the natural world in new and exciting ways.

[@emiliavorreilli638]

Mm yes, birds love those thermals - unfortunate for pilots who have to avoid them because they like to hang out at around traffic pattern altitude around the nice hot, rising air from air strips.

[@handyandy5929]

One day they’ll look at that giant camera and laugh at us.
