Default Flying with hawks

Had a young Golden Eagle fly with us about two weeks ago. It was sitting just above and behind my canopy. Was beautiful, but made me a little nervous.. I could see it flex it's talons now and then. It followed me for about fifteen minutes and then when DW joined the thermal under me it flew over to his glider and flew with him for awhile. I gave seen them follow gliders before both in thermals and even on the run.
