About ten to twenty in sight constantly fishing. I watched 
them through the glass at ICO to 500 yards. They carried their 
legs and feet stretched out behind* under the tail and showing more 
or less distinctly, and poised over one spot several minutes at a 
time ^ flapping their wings intermi ttantly . The curve of the wing 
was very beautiful- -like this; They dove by closing 
their wings and dropping head first(l am sure of this), precisely 
like a Tern. Capt says the feet are extended to the head, 
but I did not see this. I saw five Ospreys on a dead tree at once 
eating \ fish. All faced the same way, towards the wind. A Brown 
T Eagle chased two Ospreys coming to this tree. It easily oyertoc^k//- 
close to the tail, the osprey doubling continually and whistling. 
The first time each was followed one half a mile; then the Eagle 
gave up. The second time their chase was lost behind the woods. On 
the 6th, I saw a pair of Eagles rob an Osprey. ThWjT rose slightly 
above him, then one stooped, apparently striking him slightly, when 
he dropped the fish. The other Eagle caught it before it reached 
the ground.
