How Sea Eagles Catch Ducks.

In summer the principal food of the
white-tailed sea eagle is salmon. varied
by sea birds common among the inets
Of Greenland. In autumn. when the sal
mon have assembled to the lakes. the
birds resort to the sea. They appear
to have special fondness for elder
duck, which are taken by strategy
Stationed near the water in com
handing position. with 4 background of
that of the eagles plumage. ne sits mo-
tionless until flock of ducks settles
near him. After Il time one or two dive
in search of food but not until all have
gone under together does the eagle make
a sign He then glides swiftly to the
spot and circles over it close to the
water; with his sharp eye he can detect
the birds before they reach the surface
At first he is not usually successful.
for as soon as they become aware Of the
presence of the enemy they dive again
instantly; but in time they are obliged To
come up for air, and then one of them
becomes an easy victim. y full grown
elder drake is easily lifted up and borne
