I'm thinking they put some kind of bird snack on the camera to get the eagle to walk or fly to it for a closeup. You can see people standing there as the bird takes the camera.

I did see that. I assume they had dirt bikes or some kind of ATV to find it so quickly.

This is very cool. I have a family member that works with raptors. I am going to send this to them!

That's a Kea parrot. They are in New Zealand and the bird is banded, so it's very familiar with people.

They're lucky they got the camera back in one piece.

Almost every day with Cici here.
Especially with glasses.

Now I MUST get a small GoPro and have her fly around the house with it!

I'm thinking it must have been a cell phone that was light enough for the bird to carry... and, perhaps the owner used a 'where's my phone' app on his iPad to find and recover it. Whatever, it's very cool!

There was a guy fishing at Smith Mountain Lake with an underwater camera on his line. He caught a striper and an osprey took the fish and camera.
