except the legs fastend around each others'' legs, it's hard to see how a second pperson could even have fit in there.

for a skilled individual like that rescuer. A second person would simply have added more stress and more struggle.

What a great job!

Never, not ever. A Golden Eagle barely caught my hand while I was feeding it. That was bad enough. I still have the scars from then, the late 70's. I did see a Bald Eagle this morning though. They have been really infrequent this year. YIKES.

I'd have reached for the nearest garden hose ... but maybe that's not the right method with big raptors like that.
