I had the privilege of "flying" an Eagle Owl and it was truly awesome. The video is amazing.

Glad this was enjoyable for you all. The entire sequence is outstanding but when this owl spreads those talons it is for me about as spectacular a video as I've ever seen.

Awesome frame !!!
It reminded me of Mr. Eric Hosking (If I remember it correctly), who lost one eye to an Owl, while photographing it's nest. They are amazing hunters and their feathers don't make any noise.

Jagdeep your mention of feathers, did you notice near the end, the upper most feathers wildly fluttering as the owl lost air speed and neared stall? As you say amazing.
