swift and formidable adversany.
That the American eagle will some­
times put up a stiff fight in the de­
fense of its nest, or when hard pressed
on the ground, we have ample evi­
dence. Capt. B. F. Goss thus wrote
to Captain Bendire of his experience
at a nest built on a small island in
the vicinity of Corpus Christi, Texas:
“Both parent birds attacked us with
great fury, screaming and striking at
us with their talons. While examin­
ing the nest, they came within a few
feet of me and I was glad to retire.”
When Caught In a Trap.
The late Hon. John G. White, of
Cleveland, has given the following ac­
count of what happened on two occa­
sions at Jackson Hole when an eagle
was caught it. a trap set for bear:
“We would have released him,"
wrote the Judge, “but the trap had
scraped bis leg and he would not al­
low us near. When we came up to
the stockade he was lying down. As
soon as he saw us he reared himself
up on his sound leg, favoring the
trapped one as much as he could, and,
with head drawn back and feathers
erected, defied us and struck at us
fiercely when we attempted to ap­
proach. As there was no way to re­
lease him, we had to kill him.”
Like the gia^t of old. when beaten
to the earth, hi promptly arose with
fighting powers renewed, for “in an
