Wow.  The experience alone of gliding up that high would be a rush, but having a hawk coming in that close that high would just add to the excitment. 

Great video!

It really isn't hawking, and the bird isn't a hawk...

Looks like fun though.

The thing I wonder about is whether this is to help with the situation this bird is in (endangered) or whether it's to just turn a profit?

Once had a small dogfight with an Ospray , he took offense to my r/c plane   :)
It was a draw  .
