HISTORY OF LAND BIRDS.

 

- THE GOLDEN EAGLE.

Tar Golden Eagle is called the monarch
of birds, on account of its courage, strength
and swiftness. It is found in the north
of Europe, Siberia, and North America.
When full grown, the Golden Kagle mea-
sures three feet in length—the female
being generally the largest. Very rarely,
Eagles of this species occur almost white.
Their fire-flashing eyes, lowering brows,
flat foreheads, and powerful beaks and ta-
lons, give these birds a fierce appearance.
