Saw a pair of Eagles, one adult the other with a 
little white on both head and tail, boating about over 
the nioadows at the Outlet, like Marsh Hav/ks, and a; ca- 
sionally lighting on lo^7 stubs. They are the first 
that I have seen here this season.

Lumen Sargent tells me that he once took a pair 
of young I3ald Eagles from the nest and kept them alive 
for five years. Up to the third year they changed but 
little. During that year vhaite a-pp eared on their heads 
and tails. The fourth year both assigned the perfect 
plumage.

Several birds in brown plumage near the Outl

H An immature Eagle |;as hauntedthis portion of tlie Lake 
ii for several days. I have repeatedly seen him fishing. 
He plunges more deliberately thar, the Eish Hawk, and 
strikes the water less heavily.

v/as apparently only Y/-inged and struck savagely at my

culiar to raptorial birds. 
Shot a young female apparently a this year’s bird; 
not fat, smelled strongly of musk; exceedingly tough
