Cool isn't it. I've watched them do it in fields as I drove. about 3-4 months back, I had one land in my front yard about 10-15' away from me and our dog, grab something (mouse I suspect) and take off again. The other day, I saw one flying over the neighbors house with something (rat, I think) in it's talons. I love to watch them when I can.
