eagles at one time within a radius of 5 miles. After dinner we went back to the Island and after wading three feet of snow for a hundred yards we came to the trees. The tree was only about 3½ feet thru at the bottom but tapered very little. It stood on a ridge and was the largest tree on that end of the island. We fell three trees before we could get one to fall against the big tree. I had to climb three trees before I got to the nest. The top of the tree had been broken off and the nest was placed on the very top top. The nest was 116 ft. 5 inches from the ground. It was 6ft 4in x 6ft 11 in outside by 16x16x7 in inside. The nest was lined with moss, glass and duck feathers). There were two eggs, perfectly fresh. The did not fly off the nest until I had my head up against it. The birds did not often fight but just flew around and squealed.
