What do you think about a theory that the dark eyed eagle is a female, maybe the same that appeared with Me L in September 25, but did not come to the nest?

i am also well aware of the behaviour characteristic which is commonly called "the crop drop". i have seen this behaviour dozens of times, performed by both adults and eaglets.
i am simply not convinced that the behaviour is the process which usually described in this context. i have a hunch that food transfer from crop to stomach is a layperson's explanation to this puzzling behaviour.
so far i have not found any professional explanation for this behaviour, either scientific or in falconry (raising and training birds of prey). it would be very interesting to find such information. so far all the links i have found have led to the American bald eagles.
