Eagles mate for life. A female eagle will lead a potential mate through the skies, swooping, diving, and soaring high above the hills. She then flies as high as she can and flips on her back, free-falling toward the ground. It's the males job to grasp her talons, and keep her from certain death. Moments before they hit the ground, the female pulls out of the dive and circles the male. Because he was willing to stay even unto death, he proved himself as a mate.

I'm thinking the one on the left, facing upwards, is a female, having a broader, puffier breast/chest and larger size overall. One above looks to have a trim, sleek breast... looks male to me.
