CXXVI. AQUILA Brisson. 1760. 
349. Golden Eagle. 
Aquila chrysaétos (LINN.) DuMont. 1816. 
Specimens procured in the Ungava District. Breeds in the 
northeast portions among the hills. A pair also breed at the 
“Forks ” in the Ungava District. (Packard.) Saw what I took 
to be an example of this species near the ‘‘ Forks” above Ungava. 
While at Fort Chimo, September, 1896, saw the skin of one that 
the Indians had shot a few days before on the river. (Spread- 
borough.) Not acommon bird in Nova Scotia, but breeds there 
and resides throughout the year. (Gz/pim.) Only one specimen 
known to have been taken in New Brunswick. (Chamberlain.) 
Taken at Beauport; a summer resident in Quebec. (Dzonme.) 
“Transient visitant”” at.Montreal ; rare. Saw a fine specimen of 
this eagle in the Bonsecours market in the month of May, 1891. 
It was evidently shot near Montreal. (Wntle.) 
A female was shot 30th October, 1883, at Casselman, near 
Ottawa, Ont., by Mr. J. S. Casselman, and another was seen near 
the same place shortly afterwards. (Ottawa Naturalist, Vol. V.) 
It breeds in the Laurentian Hills. (G. R. White.) Breeds in the 
rugged hills of eastern Canada, and is frequently taken at Hamil- 
ton and Toronto, but chiefly young birds. (Mcllwraith.) A 
golden eagle was killed at Toronto, Ont., on October, 24th, 1896. 
The only record in many years. I received a golden eagle shot at 
Loring, Ont., about the first of March, 1897. One was killed at 
Lake Scugog, Ont., on October 20th, 1897. I received two females 
from Dunchurch, shot in March, 1898 and three more from Loring, 
two females and a male. It is a remarkable fact that till 1896 I 
had not met with a single golden eagle from Parry Sound. Bald 
eagles always abundant but no golden eagles. (/. H. Fleming.) 
Very rare in Manitoba. Possibly resident. (Zhompson-Seton.) A 
rare species in Assiniboia, but was seen in the “ bad lands ” south 
of Wood Mountain in June, 1895, and in July of the same year on 
the West Butte and at “ Writing on Stone” on the Milk River. 
Mr. Spreadborough believed it was breeding in the above locality. 
(Macoun.) 
This powerful bird breeds in the recesses of the sub-alpine 
country which skirts the Rocky Mountains and is seldom seen 
farther to the eastward. (Richardson.) Extends north in the
