On May 19 the local newspaper contained an item that might be 
of interest. It stated that seven pelicans spent their time in a small 
pond and flew over the town of Bureau, Ill. several times. They had 
been there several days and had been viewed by hundreds of people.

The Mockingbird and Bald Eagle in Rock Island Co., Ill. 
On May 30 about 2 P. M., a Mockingbird was heard singing in the 
top of an apple tree in the front yard of our home, three miles south- 
east of Port Byron. It sang in the apple tree about five minutes and 
was again heard singing in the garden half an hour later. It then 
disappeared and was not seen or heard again. It imitated many other 
birds and sang beautifully. 
The following item about the Bald Eagle breeding in the upper 
end of Rock Island Co., Ill:, was published in the Port Byron Globe, 
May 9, 1935—-A baby bald eagle, found on the Edward Stewart farm 
near Port Byron is on display at Rock River Poultry Market in East 
Moline. The mother of the bird was one of the largest seen in this 
vicinity for many years. It was estimated that it had a wing spread 
of six feet from tip to tip. A young ground hog was found in the 
nest. This had been captured by the mother for food for the young. 
The farm on which the Eagle’s nest was located, is about five miles 
north of our place. I am not acquainted with the owner of the farm 
and did not have an opportunity to go and see the nest.
