content: Landscape sketch showing a view of three trees--one with an eagle's nest--on or near the shore of Lake Millinocket in Maine. At right, a twisted, leafless tree stands alone, while two other, similarly barren trees are visible at left--the innermost tree hosting an eagle's or hawk's nest upon its crown. Its inhabitant, a large bird of prey, is shown flying with its wings aloft at upper center. Other loosely rendered foliage is shown in the background at left.
