Haliaetus leucocephalus. 1889, Lake Umbagog. September 12. Saw almost nothing on the way (to Moll's Rock) except a pair of Bald Eagles, one a superb adult, playing together in the air over Great Island just as a pair of Buteos will often play, one rising above the other and swooping down past it. I saw three other single Eagles and one Osprey. 1897, Lake Umbagog. June 4. Returning from Bottle Brook Pond. We saw . . . a pair of Eagles, one brown, the other white-headed. The latter was carrying something in its talons which the other bird appeared to be trying to take from it. They came together a dozen times or more in quick succession, one or both uttering a short shrill scream many times. This note is wholly new to me.
