RING-TAILED EAGLE. 
Goldsmith also relates, was accustomed to vi- 
sit an Eagles nest, or aery, during the absence 
of the old birds, and rob their young of hares, 
partridges, and other delicacies, provided for 
them by their parents ; who never discovered 
the theft, though they were, doubtless, under 
the necessity of procuring a much greater 
portion of food than usual, to appease the 
unsatisfied cravings, and consequent clamours, 
of their injured offspring.
