* This eagle is quite frequently seen along our coast, even in summer, 

 but as it is not known to breed, and being a bird of strong flight, it is prob' 

 able that it is making daily excursions in search of food. 



t Those that remain during the summer are generally immature birds, 

 probably the young of the previous year. See remarks on page 151, under 

 Larus argentatus.
