Gorgeous, but how would they get this angle? Wouldn't an eagle attack a drone? Is it CGI?

6. I believe this to be cgi

I fly drones for a living and birds do NOT act this way when they are around.

7. I've seen videos of eagles attacking drones.....

The eagles won.

I once dated a lady who worked for our state consevation department. She had spent a summer in Alaska studying bald eagles. A pilot had told her that the number one cause of plane crashes in Alaska was collisions with eagles. he told her that if you're in a plane and see an eagle, you had better get out of his way, because it would not get out of your way. It astonished her that an eagle would set its course, and it would die before it would deviate from it.

8. There are certain birds for which I will pull it out of the air.

Among those are purple martins....they will swoop down too close to the drone and I don't want to hurt them, so I move away quickly.
We don't have many eagles here, so that is not much of a problem.

9. Kinda weird. My stomach actually got physically queasy from the height perspective...

I've developed a fear of heights as I've gotten older. Yay.
