I photographed a pair of adult bald eagles performing courtship aerobatics over 
the James River this afternoon.  They were first seen at Reedy Creek and then 
later when they perched together on a tree located on an island near Hollywood 
Cemetery.  They left the tree headed in the direction of the downtown GBH 
rookery and started to soar.  The courtship flight routines were performed 
several times with downtown buildings in the background.

Three photos showing one eagle flying upside down below the other, both with 
outstretched talons can be viewed at the following link:

Once the webpage is opened, click on the top left image.  The eagles were 
photographed from a ninth story balcony.
