Aquila chrysaetos
9 August - cott-
the bird had been eaten by some
mammal. Probably the eagle was found
closed. John Cantlon reported finding
a dead eagle last year - perhaps the
same one. I brought it had started
to death.
18 August Okfilak - Jogo Rivers
Just after taking off from Okfilak
Lake an immature eagle flew
under the airplane - ca 2000 ft below
Okfilak Lake.
Later on the Jogo, at 1845 one was
seen flying along the river valley,
just above camp. It was called to
my attention, when my eyes falcon
suddenly fixed her gaze in the distance
and "triumphed down" her plunge
while she was in the process of eating.
September Meade River - MwL Salomons' uncle,
David, said that yesterday he
saw an eagle speeding at a Caribou
carcass which he had shot on
the Milukotook River. I be said
it was so full, it could hardly fly
off the ground.
