Aquila chrysaetos.

  I saw John Thayer's Golden Eagle to-day (in Lancaster,
Mass.). It is in superb plumage and has lost practically all
trace of white in the tail. It was a young bird not long out of
the nest when he got it at Andover, Me., and he has had it nine
years. It frequently utters a hew-hew-hew-hew-hew-hew, rather
mellow in tone and suggesting the call of a hen Turkey. This cry
is the only sound Thayer has ever heard it make. The tone is
varied somewhat as are the number of notes.
