A Flock of Fifty Eagles.
SOMETHING Thar MAY CAUSE THE PuzzLEp
NATURALIST TO KNIT HIS Blows.

| flock of eagles is believed to be a rare
thing. but that is just what Nick Maher, ex-
Sheriff of Dakota county, and X. l.. Ward,
of this city, saw on Friday afternoon. These
two gentlemen were returning from jackson
| to this city, coming by the island road. When
about four miles out from Covington, in Col
ouel Orr's timber in Brushy bend, they saw
on the trees ahead of them what they at first
supposed was a flock of turkeys. Coming
nearer thy saw that the birds were not tur-
keys but eagles, bald eagles, too. As they
came close most of them flew of toward the
north and were hid by the timber. But six
| remained Among these six was one which
Mr.. Ward said looked like old Abe, the Wis
consin war eagle. This one craned his neck
as the two men passed directly under the tree
where he sat. The men halloed, but neither
this white headed veteran nor any Of the six
flew of. Mr.. Ward says there were fully
fifty eagles in this flock. Their plumage was
| not all alike. some being gray headed and
others with white heads. Both gentlemen
are confident there is no mistake about the
identity of the birds. They were net fish
hawks nor buzzards, but bald eagles, that
they saw. 1t is possible that these bald
eagles had been south to winter and so hap
pened TO come back in body.
The bald eagle is not entrley the noble
bird he is pictured by the poets. Truth COM
pels the statement that he is by birth and
practice thief. and his principle, source
Of support the fish hawk, which
bird he eats remorselessly. He will
catch rabbits and other small game when he
cannot find fsh-hawk to rob, and when on
the tramp and hard up, will eat carrion. The
J bald eagle, it may be mentioned in this con-
| nection, is the bird Of our country.-Siour
