    Default how a hawk with a large wing span can fly through the forest

    This is 2 ? minutes but worth every second.

    Ever wonder how a hawk with a large wing span can fly through the forest without hitting the trees?
    This video shows how that's done.

    Uncle Jesse,
    Have you got a video featuring Swamp Witches on Brooms?

    That is still under development. It requires IR & UV high speed camera, which are pushing the budget. Maybe you can make a contribution.

    Ed, you know quality film making equipment is very expensive. So, knowing how important it would be to film an actual Swamp Witch in action, I was going to try to raise money to produce a film. I call the IRS about forming one of the 501C3P0 organizations. They transferred me to the Cincinnati office; the lady had a northern accent and was hard for me to understand. She wanted to know if i was going to have a party and serve iced tea. I told her, that I wasn’t planning to have a party and could she send me an email to explain. She said their email system was down. SO, the entire project is currently on hold.
