The Golden Eagf<? in Maine. ^V! ^u§?s*t ?gi, S i§c>5, Professor F. L. 
Harvey of the Maine State College and myself were making the ascent of 
Sandy River Mountain in northwest Maine. When we had nearly reached 
the summit of the mountain, we heard the cry of some raptorial bird, and 
a Golden Eagle ( Aquila chrysaetos ) soon appeared and flew around us 
uttering its cry. We remained at the top of the mountain for some time, 
during which the Eagle remained in our vicinity and seemed much 
disturbed at our presence. We both concluded that the bird had young 
somewhere in our vicinity, and as the south side of the mountain was a 
steep cliff, there is no reasonable doubt but that the bird had a nest 
somewhere on the cliff.' When it uttered its cry we could hear answering 
cries from the direction of the cliff, thus making it evident that the bird 
had young in the vicinity.— Ora W. Knight, Bangor , Maine.

Recent Capture of the Golden Eagle near Portland, Maine. The 
Golden Eagle (. Aquila chrysaetos) is so rare in the neighborhood of Port- 
land^ that a recent capture should be recorded. I have an adult male 
specimen, sent to me in flesh, which was shot at Duck Pond, Windham, 
October 14, 1891.— Henry H. Brock, Portland , Me.
