An imperial eagle named Darshan captured phenomenal views of the capital of the United Arab Emirates while taking cues from his trainer on the ground. The eagle flight was arranged by the nature conservation group Freedom Conservation with the purpose of drawing attention to eagle conservation. This white-tailed eagle has been critically endangered for the last 50 years. With a height of 2,722 feet (830 m), the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, United Arab Emirates is currently the world’s tallest building. A bird's eye view is the view of one who is so high up as to not focus on the petty or ugly details of the world. This eagle sees all the way that it should be seen, as perfectly beautiful.

Awesome.
And what dogmatic stereotypes would those be exactly Bert?
I really enjoyed that. Thank you.
I love his dive bomb.
For all those out there that can't comprehend the Arab world outside the dogmatic stereo types, the video at the link will allow you to see the reality.
Not sure what you are trying to say here.

many here deny what the eagle cam clearly shows.
That Muslims relied on western investment and engineering to create anything of value?
that is of course irrelevant..... the fact is that what you see is there. It can’t be denied
And who exactly can you specifically point to that denies it?

The White-tailed/Sea Eagle
The white-tailed eagle - also known as the sea eagle or white-tailed sea eagle - is a huge bird with broad wings up to 245 cm (over 8 feet) wide. White-tailed eagles became extinct in Britain in the early 1900s and despite a lengthy re-introduction scheme, their numbers in Scotland are still very low.
What earth shaking revelation does the eagle cam show beyond the eagles ability to glide to earth?
OH: the incredible wealth transfer we have allowed the arabs to enjoy because we were not willing to drill baby drill.
GOT IT!.
Thanks for that reveal, I’d have never known if but for that eagle!
That Dubai is a big city with lots of buildings?
Little known fact:The bird works for the Israelis.
Too bad about his buddy the dolphin.
LOL, I don’t know about dispelling any stereotypes, but regardless of any buildings there, the video is great.
I have seen it posted a boatload of times, but...I always have to go in and watch it once again.
I like how you can see the eagle searching...searching...searching...twisting its head this way and that, and when it spots its handler, the wings tuck and it goes into that cool dive!
I love it every time I see it!
