Your chance to vicariously fly through tiny openings at high speed.

I guess the point is that this is how they maneuver through the forest when chasing prey. You know us humans have to do studies on these things. She seemed very comfortable with this.

Birds do things like that all the time in nature. The researchers must have wanted to better understand how (and to admire it, repeatedly, in slow motion).

Flying through small gaps is what Goshawks, Coopers Hawks, and Sharp Shinned Hawks do. It's as characteristic of them as a high speed stoop is of a peregrine. What they do in nature is much scarier than what the movie shows. Example -- a few years ago, I was standing by the base of a large tree watching a flock of nearby house sparrows dust bathing. Suddenly, a fast-moving shadow got my attention. I looked up and saw a Coopers Hawk dive into the treetop, flash through the dense network of branches, snatch one of the sparrows, and fly off into the distance. I stood there, stunned like the remaining sparrows, for a long time.
