Just got back from there myself. Leo Dickinson and friends are playing with some Peregrine Falcons. Is this the same group? I missed Stane.

Got back late last night. Will post pictures and info about my pre-second BirdMan BASE jump when I get some time!

Incidentally, I flew with a red tail hawk under canopy yesterday. Did a hop and pop and found myself about 50 feet above him. He was apparently curious, as he flew up to my level, and stayed within twenty feet off to my right for about fifteen seconds before taking off.

It hadn't happened to me before, but from what I now hear, these birds are naturally curious about what else is in the air, and will come in to investigate. Really, really amazing visuals.
