. The charm of the hills [microform]. Birds; Bird watching; Oiseaux; Oiseaux. THE GOLDEN EAGLE AND ITS NESTING 127 watrhed her for some minut s at a distanct of rather less than 100 yards, we walked up and stiK^d close to the tree, expecting to see the eagle soar off at oni-e. To our surprise, however, biie sat quite confidently awhile, then sK)wiy and solemnly rose from the nest, walked to the edge of the eyrie in a stately manner, and threw herself out on to the still evening air. And now a yet more t xtraordinary thing happened. Instead of flying straight off, as the •. agles of our experience had hitherto done without exception, this fearless bird actually alighted on a trrc near, and then, after a few moments' rest, ventund still closer, taking up her station on the top of a iir tree not la^ yards from us. There she remained for some time, a striking and unusual object, searching the glen on every side with ijuick and eager glance for the appearance of her KKite. Tlie latter, however, was evidently hunting afar, and soon the hen began to speak, as it were, to herself in curious, li(|Uid, babbling notes repeated with great rapidity—"wow wow wow wow." The notes were quite unlike anything we had ever before heard an eagle utter, though we admit that it is very exceptional to study the " king of birds " at such close quarters, and it was with disappointment that we saw the eagle rise from her perch and fly leisurely across the corrit—to take up her watch on the farther hill-side..
