GOLDEN EAGLE. — A'quila chrysdetus. 
Tiie Golden Eagle lives in many parts of the world. It is famous for its 
strength, swiftness, and courage. It mostly feeds on hares, rabbits, and other 
small animals, but often steals lambs out of the fold. Owing to the expanse of 
the wings and the power of the muscles, the flight of this bird is peculiarly bold 
and graceful. It sweeps through the air in a succession of spiral curves, rising 
with every spire, and making no perceptible motion with its wings.
