CATALOGUE OF CANADIAN BIRDS. 24; 



nests constructed, near the top fof tall spruce trees; the sand^ 

 nature of the soil in their vicinity was not favourable to building 

 on cliffs. (Macfarkme.) 



In the spring of 1891; Mr. Hine of Winnipeg found this nobh 

 bird breeding in a cliff on the Winnipeg River. In June, 1893, 

 saw a golden eagle at Morley in Alberta and was informed a pai 

 nested in the Rocky Mountain foothills. My collection containi 

 36 eggs of this eagle collected in California and Montana. It lay: 

 2 eggs, sometimes 3, and some are very heavily marked like buz 

 zard's eggs. {W. Raine.)

Breeding NIotes. — At Ivigtut, (Greenland, Mr. Hagerup 

 obtained a clutch of eggs on May 15th that had been taken fron 

 the nest two weeks previously ; they had been sat upon about on( 

 week. On June lOth another clutch was secured' that had beer 

 taken about three weeks before, and these were almost wholly in 

 cubated. It is probable that nests with fresh eggs can be foune 

 in April. {Chamberlain in The Auk, Vol. VI., 292.)- 



I have a set of three eggs taken at Godthaab, Greenland, Apri 

 20th, 1898 ; the nest was built on the ledge of a sea cliff. I have 

 another set of two eggs taken in South Greenland, June 15th
