Eagle Much Overrated Bird
Naturalists Tell Us

would steal child il opportur
offered and they found the sire
to carry 1t away.
The eagle lays two and sometime
three gray or whitish eggs in the
Springtime- anywhere from Febru-
airy to May or June, according to
climate. After a month the eggs
hatch. The little eaglets do not
leave the nest for from three to four
months, during which time they are
fairly stuffed with food by the pa
rents. Oftentimes the usual order
is reversed-the youngsters becom-
ing so fat and large that they ara
actually larger than their parents.
As to Covering.
The young eagle is clothed in
three hinds of garments before it
reaches maturity. During the first
year 1t is black, the second year
slate-colored, the third year brown
and white. 1t might be said that the
bald-headed eagle is not bald. 1t is
so called from the white ruff OF
feathers about its head. The three
different appearances of the young
eagle one time provoked strange
misunderstanding among bird OBJ
caryarc II uaa fho1phf that thew
were three different species-the
black, the George washington and
the bald. The eagle is one Of the
Falconidae, which includes hawks
and all similar birds OF prey.
Many were the strange stories
told of the eagle during antiquity.
1t was believed to be the messenger
and spirit of Jupiter. One of thes
stories, and perhaps the most
culiar of all of them, is the fCllo
ing, told by Pliny, the great natural-
list of ancient Rome:

or waters at the eyes the mother
falls upon it and kills 1t, deeming IL
too degenerate and weak to propa-
gate the species.

OF course, there are still plenty OF
nice little girls left. Our neWspa-

existence. But they're here and

1TNHE bald eagle is the symbol OF
the United States just as he
IN is of France, Russia, Ger
many and Austria, and as he was OF
Rome and many another country OF
antiquity. His proud mien, his
strength, his courage, his matchless
qualities in combat have been tradi-
stional with all c. mbative and way
like people since the beginning OF
time. Amongst these must be num-
.bered the American Indian--indeed
it is through him that we are so well
acquainted with that close relative
of the bald eagle, the golden eagle.
He imagined that the wearing OF his
feathers or of a necklace OF claws
endowed him with many Of the quail
tiles Of the pugnacious bird and SO
enabled him the easier to overcome
his foes. ts b
Not Fond OF Fighting.
The modern naturalist, however,
saws that the eagle is a much over
rated bird, and not nearly SO cour-
ageous as has been believed. He de-
clares that the bird while endowed
with every quality needed to make
him king is yet possessed Of many
characteristics which we cannot ad-
mire. They allow him strength,
wonderful eyesight, marvellous
strength, cunning and agility and
call him more or less of a parasite
and a craven.
They say that the bald eagle VIII

OF his nest-the golden eagle Will not
do this-but that when he does 1t IS
truly an awe-inspfring sight. The
rest of the time he could be licked
by rooster.
The eagle. it is believed, will never
forage for food 80 long as he can
steal It from another bird. AT many
nlaees along the coasts it is a COM
mon sight to see the bald eagle rob
hing the osprey of his newly-caugh'
fish. He win wait until he sees the
