Text Appearing Before Image:
and the young are said always tobe paler than adults. The length of this Buzzardis about twenty-two inches. THE GOLDEN EAGLE (a QUI LA CHRYS^TUS) TT is certainly matter for surprise that a birdas big as the Golden Eagle has managed toretain its place in our avifauna, and we mustattribute the circumstance to the inaccessiblecharacter of those remote haunts it now affects.Little more than two hundred years ago theGolden Eagle bred in Derbyshire and Wales.Willughby says that this bird in his day bred onthe cliffs of Snowdon, and he actually describes anejvm in Derbyshire in 1668. Wallis, a centurylater, publishes the information that it bred on theCheviots; whilst Jardine, in 1838, is able to give thecliffs of Westmorland and Cumberland as recentlyits breeding-place.

THE GOLDEN EAGLE THE GOLDEN EAGLE 131 bird still lingered as a breeding species to some-where about the year 1855; now the Highlandsare its only resort. In Ireland the bird has sadlydecreased in numbers, and its principal breeding-places are, according to Mr. R. J. Ussher, a fewplaces in Mayo, Donegal, Galway, and Kerry.Returning to Scotland, the Golden Eagle breedshere and there in the Hebrides and the Westernand Northern Highlands. It is most satisfactoryto know that this splendid bird maintains itsground, and that in some districts it is actuallyincreasing, thanks to the protection which hasbeen given it by certain landowners, to whom allnaturalists must feel more than grateful. Collectors,especially oologists, are responsible for the exter-mination of a good many Golden Eagles; and whenwe hear of the tempting prices which are offeredto shepherds and others, the only wonder is thatthe bird exists at all! We are convinced thatsaner opinions are spreading, and we have everyconfidence
