eagle

A photographer captured the incredible moment a juvenile bald eagle swooped down for a slice of pepperoni pizza and flew away with it.

A curious eagle stole a photographer's drone from the sky and then took a selfie with it.

I should go out and buy a lottery ticket. Last week, I took advantage of Nikon’s 10% off sale on refurbished gear to get a great deal on their 500mm f/5.6 PF lens. Did I need it? No. But I’ve been lusting over its compact size and light weight since it came out, so finally pulled the trigger and bought one.

GoPro shared this neat 1-minute video that was captured by an eagle wearing a GoPro HERO7 Black camera during a flight through a packed soccer stadium. GoPro's new Hypersmooth movement prediction technology stabilized the video.

Environmental researcher Matt Beedle was using a GoPro camera to capture some shots of bald eagles a couple of years ago and ended up with some unexpected and viral footage: while the camera was rolling, an eagle decided to snatch it up and take it up for some aerial shots.

After reading so many stories about inconsiderate people putting animals' lives in danger (or outright killing them) to get a "cool" selfie, this story was like a deep breath of fresh air. Watch as a Polish nature photographer risks his own safety to save a young eagle stuck in the coastal mud.

This. Is. So. Cool. We (and probably you) have seen video captured from the back of eagles and falcons in flight. But this is the first time we've ever heard of someone strapping a 360° camera to the back of a golden eagle and letting it fly.

Here's a camera drone video that has been going viral over the past week: aerial photographer Adam Lancaster was flying his camera drone over Victoria, Australia, recently when a massive 2-meter wedge-tailed eagle decided to confront the intruder in midair. It was captured on camera flying right at the drone and using its talons to "punch the drone out of the sky."

Places like Paris are prime candidates for capturing incredible aerial footage, but where most people would go about this task with a drone (or maybe a replica of the Up! house...) the people at the non-profit FREEDOM took a different approach.

They strapped a Sony Action Cam Mini to the back of a white-tailed eagle named Victor, and let him fly from the observation deck of the Eiffel Tower.

Drone photography is still new enough that we haven't really seen the true potential of this new media unlocked -- yet.

While the FAA and others bicker about privacy and regulation, some photographers are out there exploring the boundaries of this new technology... and all of them seem to have shown up for the first Drone Photography Competition put together by Dronestagram with help from Nat Geo France, GoPro and a few others.

Try all the tricky ski moves and skateboard jumps you want, but it'll be hard to beat the latest action video auteur -- a curious Australian sea eagle who snagged a wildlife camera to create a brief but exciting aerial tour of his neighborhood.

Before today, if you were to ask me who would win in a fight, an eagle or a deer, I would probably have bet on the deer given the obvious size advantage. But recently released shots from a wildlife camera set up in a remote corner of Siberia show how wrong I would be.

Here's the story of how I was in the right-place at the right-time for a special series of eagle photographs.

I was driving down a dirt road near my house when I spotted a red-tailed hawk sitting on the ground. I pulled over for a shot, thinking it may be feeding on something, but it took off and flew across the road in front of me.
