Hi Ken,
One time one of the eagles flew over my head from behind - I was looking out 
at his mate and he
had taken off and realigned himself and came swooping down just inches over 
my head. A seven foot wing span
makes a definite air pressure as it flaps by you. Now I always look behind 
once in awhile - just in case he decides
to do it again. And I always wear my Australian digger hat - made in 
Indonesia - and a gift from my middle daughter.
I would not want my skull to be raked by eagle talons!
Howard

The last one, flying at you, is particularly excellent.  Here we have 
the Kite hawks that will dive bomb those of us that are follicle 
challenged and sometimes draw some blood, but these would ratchet things 
up considerably.
