If you’ve ever marveled at the flight of an eagle and wondered about the perspective the majestic raptor enjoys, watch the video and wonder no more. The incredible footage was captured, via eagle-cam, over the famous Mer de Glace (Sea of Ice) glacier in the French Alps near Chamonix.
Watch closely as the bald eagle soars above the hillside fringes of the glacial valley, and as it pumps its wings (at the 25-second mark), to gain more height and/or speed, and as it glides past people on the verdant slope.

As a kid I used to wish I could be a bird for a day and often wondered what
it was like to be able to fly away. :cool:

The eagles I've seen flying around here don't get anywhere near the ground when they're flying. We have large hawks that zigzag like bats out of hell through the trees though. Have seen them a few times, very kool to watch.
Here's a video of that bird -
