Once attracted to a potential partner, the bald eagle may begin one of several elaborate courtship rituals called "cartwheeling." In this magnificent display, the eagles soar to dizzying heights, lock talons, and begin a breathtakingly death-defying plunge to the earth. Just moments before striking the ground, the eagles disengage and once again soar to the heavens. If the timing is not perfect, certain death awaits this pair of speeding bullets.
