Aquila chrysaetos. 1896, August 8. Grafton Notch, Me. Nest. Blanchard who came out at Brook's to meet the stage tells me that a pair of "black" Eagles have nested this year at the old eyre on the ? just north of Grafton Notch. 1897, June 2. (?) Lake Umbagog. Megalloway River. Happening to direct my field glass towards the summit of Mt. Dustin, several miles away, I discovered soaring above it a large, dark-colored Eagle which two smaller birds, apparently Crows, were mobbing. I could not help suspecting that it was a Golden Eagle, but at such a distance it was impossible to get an identification. 1898, September 21. Lake Umbagog. Upper Megalloway River. The most interesting birds seen to-day were a pair of Golden Eagles soaring in company high among the clouds (Jim thought at least three miles above the earth) over the river a little be- low Upper Metalluc Pond. 58
