he starts out in the blue expansive heavens,
and scars all arohnd o his op.n oas over the
land and water to see what he can pouace

cruel bird, he always preys before eating. just
like any good moral man at the head of lis
family He eats his yictuals raw, which is an
unfayorae habit, but it is supposed that he
eats it so because he likes to. He is very
courageous bird and will fight like blazes for
for his young and steal chickens wherever he
can see them. He is a bird of great talOnS,
and is respected by birds of the feathered
tribe that are afraid of him. He is a great
study for artists, but appears to best advantage
