http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/episodes/raptor-force/introduction/1109/ A bird's-eye view of the peregrine falcon's stoop, its deadly attack maneuver, captured by a mini camera harnessed to its back. From the NATURE broadcast of RAPTOR FORCE, airing on PBS Sunday, Sept. 21, 2008 at 8 p.m. (check local listings). The program offers similarly breathtaking in-flight views from the backs of the red-tailed hawk and golden eagle. RAPTOR FORCE also examines the birds' complex anatomy and its influence on military aircraft design. Tony Award-winning actor Liev Schreiber narrates.

    You just came across as very very dumb with that comment. The cameras are not heavy and they put them on the falcons BECAUSE THEY LOVE THEM. They want to know more about them.
