    Bald eagles are not going through the best of times . Firstly, some YT videos put them against Golden Eagles, then someone shows a giant vulture taking off her a carcass, and now those infamous pesky Canadian geese interrumpt her hunting. 😉😬

    Hi, I’m a musician from Brussels, Belgium and Í’m looking for a video to illustrate my next track « high flying bird ». It is an instrumental guitar track in the genre of Hermanos Gutiérrez (you can check them out on youtube). I found this video a few months ago and I believe that would be a perfect match! Let me know if you would be interested to collaborate, and if so, I would propose to discuss this elsewhere. Cheers !

    Hi Ferris, this is an amazing video of a Raven! I was wondering if I could possibly gain permission to use this video along with music by Indigenous singer-songwriter Shannon Thunderbird, to share with her song "Black Winged Raven"? Is there an email address or phone number to connect with you? Thanks!
