Head of lake. 11 1 brown (Great bird Isl.) 14 1 brown / Great bird Island) June 14 A very dark, small young bird (apparently of this season's Brood) started from the shore on the north end of Great Island and alighting on a stick allowed us to row past within 25 yds. of the bow of the boat. It sat so erect that its body looked like a continuation of the stick. Its attitude was singularly fine & imposing for a bird of this species. 15 A brown Eagle perched on a stick on B. Point was harassed for several minutes by a Crow of whose noisy and threatening demonstrations it took little account at first; but finally the Crow alighted on the Eagles back about between the wings. The Eagle immediately spread its wings and thrusting downward on a steep incline plunged headlong into the lake. Carrying itself nearly out of sight and thus ridding itself of its persecutor which, however, did not cease to hover as it held until just as the Eagle struck the water. This incident was witnessed by C.H. Watsons, R.H. Gilbert, James Barnum & Charles Kidwell all of whom agree as to the correctness of the above statement. The birds were about 150 yds. from our lower boat on the deck of which the men were standing. I, unfortunately, was in the cabin on the trim. When I came out the Eagle had returned to the stick & the Crow was flying about over him coming & diving down but he did not again actually attack him.
