Fantasic! The eagle is just curious and wants to play.

Fun to watch, thank you for sharing this entertaining piece. That's a nice big bird but I'm not convinced that it's an "eagle" (by the small size of head?)-- more like a falcon / pigeon hawk or similar predator fowl. Thoroughly cool though & nice music..

[NMHighPlains]

@YaDenmark it doesn't have a falcon wingbeat or wingshape at all. It's an immature bald eagle. You can tell it's a fish eagle by the slight gull wing shape of the wing. And being in WA state, well, it's a bald eagle. Go watch some peregrine videos and you'll see the fast, clipping wingbeat. FWIW, I've been a falconer for about 30 yrs and have seen lots and lots of both falcon and eagles flying.

The upper right side of the action also catches the lower end of a SUN HALO!

Was I the only one to notice that?

Bird- "Too close for missles useing claws"

[lambus1234]

You know, if that eagle actually caught that plane, the plane would be totally pwned, right?

[TheMajestuoso]

I think that eagle could use a little sidewinder missile.

EVASIVE MANEUVERS! !

[NinjaBob23]

the eagle thinks its a smaller bird, and is trying to get in position to grab and eat it

[VCMates]

That remote control bird looks real.

[scootosan]

the eagle was trying to create a new form of "Hy-bird"

[Zdk15]

@scootosan No....just, no.

[NinjaBob23]

@scootosan what? you're fucking retarded that doesnt even make any sense at all

[scootosan]

@NinjaBob23 look simplebob23 you obviously don't get much and the rest of us who walk upright thank you

[Armyless1]

Wow, slappyhack. You're like the old person in the neighborhood pointing your cane and barking incomprehensible orders at people walking by.

Nice phone

Airborne Hunting Act (16 U.S.C. 742j-1).

Section 13 of the Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956 is commonly referred to as the Airborne Hunting Act, or Shooting From Aircraft Act, and prohibits taking or harassing wildlife from aircraft, except when protecting wildlife, livestock, and human health or safety, as authorized by a Federal- or State-issued license or permit.

@slappyhack Are we're sure this is the USA? BC US laws pretty much mean nothing in other countries.

@slappyhack

Good thing it was the bird harassing the plane and not the other way around.

[Ezlpo]

That birdie wants to eat your plane.

[Yousuckatlifeyou]

That's a pretty awesome halo when the camera pans to the right.
