The Golden Eagle in New Brunswick.— When out Snipe shooting 
October 16 (1880), a big Blue Heron flew up and almost immediately 
dropped to the ground. Instantly a large bird came like a meteor and 
struck the Heron with full force and in their excitement I got a fine spec- 
imen of the Golden Eagle (. Aquila ckrysaetus), a species not often occur- 
mg with us. — George A. Boardman, Milltown, N. B.

73. Aquila chrysaetus. Golden Eagle. — Breeds, and is not partic- 
ularly rare. Mr. Comeau has shot three, and knows of half a dozen that 
were caught in steel-traps.

Aquila chrysaetos. Golden Eagle. — I examined a live specimen in 
young plumage, captured June 23, in a fox trap set for it, near New London. 
The man who caught it thought there was a nest near by in a piece of 
woods, and expected to trap the old birds as well, one of which he had seen. 
After visiting the locality I am inclined to doubt whether the bird was 
bred on the island. Eagles are considered rare birds there by all the 
people with whom I talked, and probably stray from wilder regions, such, 
for instance, as Cape Breton.
