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.
