Love the pictures!
Brings to mind visiting a bird of prey center in Germany. For the show, there is a fellow that roves the stands among the audience and calls the birds to him. It swoops in above the heads of the audience and lands on his hand, about 12 inches above the spectators head! I was not in the flight path the first time we visited, but the next time we went I made sure I was in the right spot.

No experience like an eagle with a six foot wingspan coming in on you at 30 miles per hour and zooming in right over your head! But I didn't flinch, I was confident in the eagle.
