Americans have made war to such
an extent upon the national bird
the American eagle-that few speci-
mems Of the species are left in the
East, and when one of these birds does
show itself the first impulse of the
man or boy who sees it is to shoot
to kill. Yet the eagle is a harmless
bird and does i'll to nobody. Now and
then bald-head eagle flies over the
national capital and a few are to be
seen in the region Of Washington, bur
they have become rare Last spring
a large and handsome member of the
species was shot and killed in the
woods bordering Neabsco creek, about
thirty miles below Washington and
close to the junction of that creek
