They fly by at eye-level and no more than 30 feet away.  It is a show they put on regularly for tourists and birders who visit\u2026and apparently the peanuts are highly motivating. Again, these are free flying birds, but certainly semi-tame, well habituated to human presence\u2026so I have mixed feelings about the whole thing\u2026but it certainly was an opportunity for some amazing flight shots.
