Aquila chrysaetos. Lake Umbagog, Maine. 1896. A superb Golden Eagle passed over the house and circled Oct. 4. against Sargent's Cove. Through the glass I could distinctly see that the bird was fully adult with a bright golden brown head and no white in the tail. His flight was firmer and more graceful than that of a Bald Eagle -more like a Red-tailed Hawk's. His wings were held perfectly level but the tips bent upward a little. I have never actually seen one of these Eagles at Umbagog before.
