View of Cliff and Golden Eagles Nest found March 6, 1910 —Photo by F. C. Willard 6 THE OOLOGIST watching one collecting sticks for itsnest. It would alight in the top ofa half dead juniper tree, walk clum-sily out on a dead branch and breakoff a stick with its beak. It carriedthis stick in its beak as far as Icould see it, passing close by me en-route to its nest. I watched it makeseveral trips, using a powerful glassto assure myself that it really carriedthe sticks in its beak and not in itstalons. A short time there after Iwatched another eagle carrying driednigger-head leaves in its talons. Itwas using them as lining. The rag-ged bunch of leaves hung down prom-inently and an occasional piece drop-ped off as the bird sailed toward itsnest. Each pair has two or more sitesfor a nest which are usually quiteclose together tho sometimes a mileor more apart. One of these sites isthe favorite and is used year afteryear unless they are disturbed. Thenit is deserted for a year or two andon
