The eagle Of which we spoke yes
terday-which frightened q deer out
OF the range Of hunters-was a mem
ber OF the golden eagle tribe.
The golden eagle is one of the
largest Of all eagles. It's color is
mainly dark brown, but the feath-
ers about Its head and neck are yell
loWlsh brown and have given it the
golden" part of its name.
From beak to tail, golden eagle
measures from 2h to feet, but its
Widespread is far greater than the
length Of its body. The males often
have Widespread of 7 feet from
the tip OF one wing to the tip of the
other.
In many bird families. the males
are larger than the females, but in

the case of golden eagles it is the
other way around. Among the bald
eagles. also, the females are some
what larger.
Golden eagles make their nests in
various parts of Canada and Alaska,
but they seldom raise their young
in the United States east Of the
Rocky Mountains. Observers often
see them flying over the Allegheny
Mountains. but they have not been
reported as making nests in these
mountains in late years.
What homes the golden eagles
build! Their nests sometimes meas
ure feet across when first built.
AS the years go by, the birds re-
pair the nest and add to its size.
Fifteen or 20 years later it may have
a diameter of 6 or feet, and may
be several feet high.
The framework of a golden eagles
nest is made up of sticks. and some
of the sticks are as much as inches
thick. The inside of the nest is
lined with such material as pine
needles, juniper bark and moss.
A golden eagle nest was found in
a large pine tree near Camp Harney.
Greg, at a height of so feet. This
nest was only feet wide, but it was
31a feet high.
Although some golden eagles
choose trees for their homes, most of
them place their nests on mountain
rocks or on ledges near canyons.
In telling how a mother eagle
taught her young to fly, Cali
fornia man reported: The mother
started from the nest and, roughly
handling the young one, allowed him
to drop about 80 feet. Then she
would sweep down under him. wings
spread, and he would alight on her
back. She would soar to the top Of
the range with him and repeat the
process. The farthest she let him
fall was about $50 feet"

West has 81a points or three high

passed. North, too, has 81a points
and about the same number of high

the high-card strength of each pair,
North-So hold a slight edge in
that they have three queens and
one jack where East-West have
three jacks and one queen. Yet it
Is the tens which make the big diff
ference.
If West plays the hand at one no
trump he will make only four tricks
If North plays the same contract he
cannot be prevented from making
eight tricks and will probably win
nine. Assuming heart lead by

king. West should duck the first
diamond and win the second. No
matter what he returns, declarer
