At Turkey Point I have seen pairs of eagles flying in formation, sometimes
turning toward each other, talons out, and I have seen an immature eagle
drop a fish and then swoop down to grab it again. These behaviors may be
practice for the kind of hand-off you saw, John.

"The natural function of the wing is to soar upwards
and carry that which is heavy up to the place where dwells the race of gods.
More than any other thing that pertains to the body
it partakes of the nature of the divine." --Plato
