Mrs. Carol Hopson-Above the Storm

Before I go on, I think it’s time for
my favorite eagle story. I’ve shared
it with thousands of women and yet it excites me every
time I tell it. It begins with how the eagles mate. The
female eagle watches for a male that is interested in her
and when she’s ready to be courted, she flies down and
picks up a twig or branch and brings it up high with her.
She then drops the twig and watches to see if the male
catches it before it hits the ground. If he catches it and
returns it to her, she will find another larger or smaller
stick to drop next time. She will continue to do this with
various size branches and from various heights. If the
male ever lets the branch hit the ground, she flies away
and the courtship is over. She may do this over and over
until she is satisfied that he will never allow the branch to
hit the ground. For the final test, she will pick up a small
log, almost as big as she is and fly swiftly in a figure eight
pattern. She will stay very close to the ground and then
suddenly drop the log and again test the male’s athletic
ability. If he succeeds, they will lock their talons and do a
mating dance in flight and then they will mate for life.
