ten or twelve pure white eggs, about the size of those 

 of a pigeon : the young are very prettily speckled : 

 in the autumn, when they are capable of flying, they 

 migrate southward, to pass the winter in the open 

 sea. Notwithstanding the food of this bird chiefly 

 consists of small fish and molluscous animals, its flesh 

 is said to be excellent.
