The well-known Bald Eagle of the United States,the national emblem of that republic, is reported byNillson to occur frequently and nest in Norway. Itis generally believed, however, to occur accidentally
Text Appearing After Image:
BALD EAGLE. 81 in Europe. One male, as reported by Degland, hasbeen killed in Switzerland—a female in the kingdomof Wurtemberg; and it is stated by Brehm to appearsometimes on the sea-coasts of Germany. It is not easyto account for Schlegels reasons therefore for omittingthis bird from the European list. He seems, I thinkwithout sufficient reason, to have thrown doubt uponthe truth of the various reports of its capture, andconsiders it to have been confounded with otherspecies. On this point Degland remarks, The opinionwhich M. Schlegel gives on this subject, in his twentiethobservation, would appear to me of great weight in theargument for erasing this bird from the European list,if M. Nordmann had not mentioned in the Faune Pon-tique, the capture in the middle of Russia of two SeaEagles, with all the head, neck, and tail of a pure snowwhite. After having compared them carefully with otherSea Eagles killed in the same locality, he consideredthem to be old individuals of F. albicill
