Seriously cool.

Watch how he flairs and adjust with his left wing and tail. I would love to know what cross winds it had!

I find it interesting to watch the feathers just under the leading edge of his wings as the wings fully stall, you can see the airflow as it goes turbulent. Natural tufting.

And how fluid and natural the movements are.

Other slo-mo videos I think are amazing are of hawks as they fly through thick woods and brush as they hunt some prey. Fascinating to see them twist, turn, and pull in their wings to fly between trees.
