Raptor Program

[Mike125]

PBS had an interesting program on raptors on tonight. It had footage
of various raptors and their adaptations for hunting prey. There was a
short clip on dynamic soaring that included what appeared to be an L
23. The highlight was video shot from a camera mounted on the back of
a peregrine falcon as it dove to take another bird out of the air.
Good stuff and worth watching if you see it listed. It really makes
you realize how fortunate we are to share the sky with these beautiful
birds.
