A friend of mine constantly sends me animal videos. Lots of cute or funny ones. Cat videos of course. OK, I get it... Animals are great!

But this one really caught me. It's an hawk's eye view of a 2,000+ foot drop while the hawk tries to locate his handler in the middle of an urban sprawl. This video is from start to finish with the actual flight portion edited. The linked video at the bottom is the unedited flight portion. Watch how when he finally spots his handler it's a nose dive.

Pretty cool.  I got a kick out of the little dog running for cover at about 2:02, right after the hawk arrives.
