Conversations With an Eagle The Story of a Remarkable Relationship

With these words, Brenda Cox begins the account of her remarkable relationship with Ichabod, a female bald eagle. From the moment she meets the twelve-week-old eaglet, brought to stay at the wildlife rehabilitation centre where she volunteers, Cox is hooked. She soon becomes the stormy young eagle's primary caretaker, experiencing many exhilarating moments and more than a few close calls. As their connection deepens in the years that follow, Cox starts to train Ichabod using falconry techniques. Although few bald eagles have been handled in this way, Cox brings an open mind and a knack for improvisation to her work with Ichabod, and together bird and woman explore exciting new territory. When Ichabod dies unexpectedly after a move to a private aviary, Cox grieves deeply -- but she knows her destiny will remain linked forever with these magnificent birds of prey.
