A Golden Eagle attack: Wow!

A couple of years ago I was visiting my daughter in Rochester, NY.  I went
out flying at a field next to Monroe Community College (I discovered that a
group of people fly there on weekends).  After a short while I found that my
kite had attracted an immature Peregrine Falcon which made two stoops towards
the kite; veering off just before hitting it.

I've seen immature Peregrines go after leaves and bugs before but never a
kite.  It was riviting.
