Bald Eagle Very numerous about the Lake this year, especially in September, a few remaining quite to the end of October. No one in this region seems to know where these Eagles breed. I questioned the guides closely and could not find that a nest had been found within recent years. The Eagles are said to appear regularly every season as soon as the ice goes out of the lake, and to remain till the lake freezes in the autumn. Many very young birds, evidently only a few weeks from the nest, are seen and occasionally shot during the month of June. The adult birds are extremely shy, in fact so, shy that it is difficult to get within long rifle-shot range of one. Three, however, were killed about the Lake this year. Lake Umbagog, Me.
