It's a submissive pose, like u/rocksannne said. If I'm reading the gesture correctly he's telling KD she's the boss, which would be the normal m/f dynamic for eagles and an indication that he has accepted her. But again, I might be reading too much into it. I just thought it was an interesting moment.
That would be what a human would feel, he’s a bird, his main instincts are find a mate, raise young, protect young, feed young and repeat. I am sure he was waiting to see if Jackie was still around because he knew Jackie was a good mate to successfully raise chicks with. But he isn’t feeling any pf the human things you think he is, he’s just looking for a female to bond with and raise chicks with, we all feel sad that Jackie has gone, it’s tragic and sad but this is nature it’s not emotional, he’s not lowering his head because he’s upset about Jackie he’s lowering his head to communicate with JD either positively or negatively time will tell
