Carolina Bird-Lore The Bald Eagle is a bird of wooded lakes and seashores. It is found throughout the United States and Canada, but is most abundant n Florida and along the coasts of British Columbia and Alaska. In North Carolina, it is common only at the coast. It is the Golden Eagle, not the Bald, which is the storied bird of fierce character and moun tain eyrie, One nest which the writer exam ined inay Je, taken as typical. It was Frua,ry,,but the two eggs had alpeady ' ',J$Pen Th? nest, six feet dfeeR ,andr four feeacross',' waa fif ty jt, Aigt . pet , a tree' in thej ieirter of Bmal'l isUnd" surrouhde ;','by a narrow moat of water. ' One paren. perched over the nest, while the other circled just above the tree-cops, uttering its shrill cry and displaying -its pun white tail and head. The eggs hatched late in March and the eaglets remained in the nest until' mid-June. - The principal food of the Eagle is fish. Many waterfowl are taken,! Usually the old, the weak, and the' wounded, aa well as much carrion. I depredations on farm animals are rare. The Bald Eagle is non-aggressive and dignified, meriting, our fullest protection. Ever since jt became our national emblem in ,1182 - it has steadily decreased in numbers until today it ia rare where before it was abundant, because of iutjustified and Hieedtesi shooting .The Eagle ia pro tected in North Carolina,, and eyer bird shot is in violation of the State, law. The Bald Eagle can be told fromi all otlier birds of prey except the I uolden Fagle by the larger size, it I being about three feet in total ! length with a wing spread of about' seven feet. The adults can always be known in addition by the white ' Head and tail. Im.uuiuiv birds can seldom be distinguished with cer-. tainty in the fie'id from the (K Iden liable, but in t'he hand can be knowi, by haviiig the tarsus bare while the' Golden Eaulc h;;.s it fea'hered to the toes. It will be good new.s to those who want more information about thl bird and the other oN4 species to be found in the State that plans are u .ilervvay to publish immediately a 'ovised edition of "The Birds of North Carolina" by Pearson, Brim ley, and Brindey. There will be 400 pages, 2-1 full-size color illustrations, ,'5('0 black and white. The price is $2.25 (or small) if ordered before' publication. Order through H. T. Davis, Director, N. C. State Museum, Raleigh, payment to be made when notice is given that book is ready for distribution. 16 Counties To Have Co-Op Lamb Markets L. I. Case, Extension animal hus bandman of N. C.
