There's a canning factory in Prince Rupert, British Columbia which I stayed nearby for a couple of weeks last year. Place was swarming with them.

Got some shots of them dogfighting too

Amazing things!

I knew they were big, but bloody nora they'd make a right mess of me bird table!!

Isn't that when they mate?
[taken from wiki]
Bald Eagle courtship involves elaborate calls and flight displays. The flight includes swoops, chases, and cartwheels, in which they fly high, lock talons, and free fall, separating just before hitting the ground

With that in mind you would think that she would fake it.
I suppose it's like having sex, whilst someone holding a gun to your head (or the woman's head) and then saying you've got about a minute to shoot your load or your both dead. probably not a problem if your partner is Kate Beckinsale

Might well be, aye, it was late spring.
