neat!!

Sunday I saw a pair of klutzy old redtails at the OLY airport drifting
around each other with their gear down and wings in pigeon dihedral
effortlessly soaring and circling..they were above pattern altitude
(1000') when the male began sliding out to the side and then folded
up and went down in a stoop you'd expect to see from a a falcon...mighty
nice.. very impressive flying from an old pickup truck of a hawk..
