I am crying... as a Falconer of 25 years plus... this makes my heart sing... THANKYOU
How have I not seen this before ? OMG I am crying too
I'm a Falcon 🦅
Weak bitch
I know, right ? Who could ever imagine flying with a Bird ? I'm crying too :)
That's beautiful and also perfectly dumb. Stop exploiting animals. Wild birds are disappearing like the rest of wild life. Let them free, this is their best life.
Thank you for your comment. I must agree. All our birds are free to leave anytime. As a result of their training, they are better hunters and more capable to survive. Raptors have an extremely hard life. Many only survive a year or two in the wild. Sometimes our birds do choose to leave and it's extremely heartbreaking for us to know we may never see them again. But that's why it means so much every day they chose to stay. Are you vegan?
nine years late but whatever
I was reading this and was touched, but that sudden "are you vegan?" question threw me off so much I laughed. A instant new topic that has nothing to do with what you were saying!
No
A moving tribute, but the vegan question threw me. It was so unexpected I started to gut laugh. I'm still laughing. Wtf.
Though not to ruin the moment for the naysayers, but yes, actually I am! Still not sure of the relevancy, however...
@@gatacelta😂 i thought the same when i read the comment, then after reading yours too 😂 im also vegan
This is a priceless video, when nature and a human fly together as one. Awesome!!!
Animal lovers should like the peaceful interaction and requisite love between the bird and his handler....there's no figuring out anyone who would dislike this inspiring video.
Please don't ever take this video down. Since it was posted 12 years ago, I've watched it over and over and it's gotten me through some of the most difficult times of my life.
👏 Hope life is going well for you today ❤
I have watched this video dozens of times and never tire of the majesty of this magnificent bird. She is awesome!
I've watched this video over and over again. It's just so incredible. What a gorgeous bird.
This is officially on my bucket list. Right after I get over my fear of heights. That looks so cool!
I thought the exact same thing ! Bucket List, hahahaaa
What an awesome video. You can tell these guys really love these birds. Me too
How could anyone not like this video?? It's fantastic! Those of us sitting at our computers watching it are jealous. Don't get why 35 people disliked it - they must just look for something to put down, but this is a great video and no way, no how can they put it down. Thanks for sharing!
PETA people probably. A provably pernicious pox on pleasant pursuits.
This is still one of my absolute favorite videos on UA-cam. The scenery and music never get old. Thank you for always allowing it to brighten my day. ❤️
Beautiful! The way humans & animals can interact together, peacefully, and enjoy planet Earth together.
Those are the Torrey Pines Cliffs over Blacks Beach! I know, I have walked that beach, hiked those trails, swam in those waters naked, climbed those cliffs; It's a beautiful spot!
Thank you for this video, you brought tears to my eyes! The beauty of the birds, their trust in you. I so wish I could do this.
I just told a friend this "makes my soul happy". Neat to see someone else feel the same.
A Pleasure to watch, must be an added thrill to have a Falcon to fly with. Imaging it identifying thermals. Awesome
Phil,
You are the master of aerial photography. Proud to know you.
Respectfully,

THE ESSENCE of free flying. Beautiful and in my favourites ofcourse for when I'm out of mood. Thank you.
so freaking awesome....the wonders of nature never seem to seize...
1:17 Sooo cuuuuuteee! "Ima walkin' on air!"
1:17
they also train hawks and falcons with kites and lures up to several thousand feet.. very impressive to spectate..
saw it once where a falcon was hovering above the kite and lure and the lure was remotely dropped and the falcon swooped down and caught the the lure in the air.. amazing
What a phenomenal film - thank you for sharing! What freedom!
It must be nice for that bird to be able to take a break mid-flight! Those wings are no joke!
This is awesome! Amazing what people will think of next! If nothing else, I learned a new term "Parahawking". Thanks!
That's cool. I used to fly my hang gliders there years ago, and the hawks were born and raised flying alongside of us. Ravens too.
Absolutely incredible! Feeling a strong urge to start Hanggliging again.
Fantastic, thank you for the great video. I have flown my hang glider with eagles here in Oz and it is a wonderful feeling. Sometimes they find lift and save your arse, and other times they join you in your thermal like brothers. They'll also give your sail a rip if you intrude on their nesting territory.
What a gorgeous experience to post and share - thank you so much!
A true bird's eye view. And what a transformative and enlightening view it is! No wonder the dinosaurs traded the land for the sky... and so kind of their descendants to show us the way.
am part of an education program at the BBHC museum in Cody, Wyoming, and have learned to be a bird handler for our programs. I love just standing around with a bird on my glove. This is WAY cool!!!!
I never tire of watching this beautiful & amazing video.
That is truely the icing on the cake for our sport! Sharing the same elements together.
Thankyou for sharing that.
So magical... Thank you for allowing us to experience such a splendid moment with you and you friend..:)
This blows my mind! I do not know what else to say. Spectacular!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is absolutely wonderful. Thank you for sharing your world with us. The music, the area and the falcons, too! What an existential journey for me. Love you, son, even though I don’t say it enough!
Do people still do this, 2009-2013 we're the best years on this planet. And I virtually missed it. It's 2022 now And no one does stuff like this anymore. This video is amazing to see. Today is Halloween, it's also my birthday, this video has made my day.
Yes they do I was just brought here by a YT short of a man in Brazil doing it but I thought this was a new thing.. I’d never heard of parahawking until now it looks like such a cool experience tho. 🤍
So freaking awesome. Just completely amazed and awed by the entire video. Thank you for this.
Yet again my friend Scotsoft29 send me a link to another great video, well done guys!
This kinda looks like the airborne version of swimming with dolphins!
What a beautiful post. I would love to be able to do that. Sharing the skies with Gods graceful creatures. AWESOME!!
Thank you for sharing such an inspiring and pure experience with us!
Beautiful birds and beautiful photography. Thanks.
This is truly amazing, camerawork, the perfect fitting music.
Unbelievable.........sò beautiful.
Wish i was as free as a bird.
That is incredible. You can't get much closer to nature then this, you and your birds are beautiful. Sonoma Photos, Larry Flagg.
Brilliant video. Looks amazing. The Tandem Pilot at 1.31 looks more intrested in posing for the camera than the Bird of Prey!!!! Great video.
Being in touch with nature's greatest hunters. Now that's cool.
That was really a beautiful piece of film,thanks for the inspiration.!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome footages, I enjoyed it, thanks for sharing!
Nice job Phil, Dave and Kirk.
love the MUSIC too. great combo with flying hawk along your side :)
The bond between a human and bird its amazing
Just Amazing! I'm at a lost of words!
Absolutely spell binding. Love it!
Love this I can't wait to do this
Phil, Kurt, Dave, that is awesome. Editing is great.
Wonderful video. The beautiful connection between humans and animals.
Absolutely amazing! Thanks for sharing!
that is absolute magic.... thank you so much for posting it
Amazing!! Haha... 1:17 where the bird can't quite make it :)
Isn't that absolutely fantastic.
I really wish I could get started in this sport to fly quietly with the birds, the wind, the views and away from modern life down below.
Awesome.. cannot say it enough.. thanks for sharing this..
Oh yes I do wanted to go for my AA birthday... My first marriage my husband was a skilled falconer we had them and I helped make hoods , feed them ECT I always keep the blessed moments and let go of the bad memories . I have some photos of Michael and I e of his birds .They are the fastest ever ...and to hold one without a glove means the bird trust you .I have a photo of the Great Horned Owl I raised without ever being in a cage ...still want to go flying beside these amazing birds .
Very awestruck. Great video. Randy, TLC.
as a Harris' falconer and a helicopter pilot, I know the bird's love this!!!!!
INCREDIBLE!!! Nice animal-human spirit bond.
I have a commercial pilot license ... but this looks as if it would be a whole 'nuther hoot.
Nice videography, too. Cheers, from flat-land Florida
flying with the masters of flying...
this is the peak of peaks.
goosebumps. 🤩
Epic. Paragliding + falconry. Amazing!
That's so freakin cool.
Wow. Adding that to my bucket list and I'm only like in my twenties. Hey its never to early to start.
wonderful to be in harmony with bird and sky.....
I'm jealous.
Beautiful every time I I watch.
Fantastic! This is like the one I did with my dog
I really miss him ...
No, seriously - a beautiful Video just spectacular and so special - amazing creatures - so majestic

Great photography -- just looked at about a year after receiving!!!
Whats not to like! Very cool thanks for sharing!
This is absolutley wonderful.
That is so awesome!!!!
🦅
So impressed, that is Truly Amazing!!
This just made the top of my bucket list
What a nice Video!
Very touching!
Absolutely love this!!!!!So very cool!!!
Looks like the cliffs above Blacks Beach in San Diego. I used to surf their all the time and see the paragliders. Super cool.
@marquisartistic1 This is in San Diego, CA at the Torrey Pines Gliderport. A beautiful place to go and just watch these guys float over the cliffs and the Pacific. I live in San Diego and need to go there more often since I take its beauty for granted!
thank you sir i believe that is what im looking for! you are loved dearly
It is really fantastic. well done!
I am amazed. They are beautiful!!!
Nice work Phil!
def on my bucket list!
So clearly creatures of the air and sky. Breath-taking.
That's really amazing! How fun that'd be.
The Coolest Video Ive Seen This Month so Far
That was awesome, loved it :)
Oh my this is incredible!
Great stuff. Wish I could do something like that. And since a got a Harris Hawk allready the only thing left for me to do is to start paragliding ;-). Looks more difficult than training a hawk...
Beautiful and peaceful! (:
Too Cool!!! Always wanted to try this!
this is absolutely beautiful.
Awesome vid. Thanks for sharing it. Gods creatures are amazing.
Woow! Fantastic! :) Really enjoyed watching it! Thank you! :)
wonderful clip, you cant beat paragliding and to do it with hawks/buzzards etc ... brill
oh my! just beautiful.
this reminds me of the movie, Fly Away Home, where a father and his daughter fly some small airplanes to guide a group of orphaned geese back south for winter.
I love it. I love it. I love it. Thank you.
