Hal iaetus leucocenhalus . 
Lake Umbagog, Maine. 
1894. We paddled through Leonard's Pond where we saw two Eagles 
Sept. 9. (one a fine old bird). One of the Eagles (as we supposed- 
we did not actually see him in the act) kept uttering a shrill 
squealing not unlike that of a Duck Hawk but slower said more 
disconnected. 
Sept. 26. It was very cold when I sat waiting for Jim Bernier on 
an exposed point near the ead of the island in Leonard's Pond, 
but I was entertained by watching two Bald Eagles, one young 
the other a fine adult bifcd. The former was at first perched 
on a stub eating a large fish. After it had finished its meal 
it flew to some green white pines on the north shore of the 
north channel where the old bird had gone to roost a short 
time before, both birds alighting in the same tree about mid¬ 
way from the ground and top and among dense foliage. The 
young Eagle squealed loudly as it flew to roost. 
1896. Along the Androscoggin we saw two fine adult Eagles,one 
Sept. I. a very small, the other an unusually big one. An Eagle when 
flying carries the fore part of the bod$i raised appreciably-ie; 
the central line or long axis of the body and neck is not hori* 
zontal-and the needlooks much longer than in any of the other 
of the Reptores. By these characteristics it may be most easi¬ 
ly distinguished form an Osprey when flying at a distance.
