Yes, I agree it sounds pretty cool and the video was impressive.I'm no fan of drones so if they can be taken down all the better. On my last trip to California I disturbingly watched a man buzz a drone around cormorants and Gulls and Brown Pelicans heads. The birds were so stressed after 5 of us forcefully told him to stop, he finally left. What he was doing was illegal. I just hope the Eagles don't get hurt by the blades when they take down these drones.
