I know a number of us on this site look forward to the return of the dragons to our yards.  I have uploaded a couple of high speed videos of a willing model landing on a bamboo perch.  A lot more complex wing movement then I ever imagined.  I used the Casio EX-FH20 for the captures.  The videos are around 1MB each.

This site has some interesting captures and info.

Great videos, Mike.
Enjoyed seeing the complexities of their flight.
Also enjoyed seeing the hummingbird and the dirty rat snake.
