Show WHERE EAGLES BUILD nesta inaccessible spots alway selected for the home A writer who has studied the habits of eagles among the scottish hills says that the birds construct their myrlea toward the end of march and the eggs which number two or three are laid in april eagles seem to prefer tor a nesting site some ancient pine with a southern position and wide outlook or a ledge on a cliff but this writer noticed that they sometimes build their beyries on quite small rocks where they can be got at without much biffl culty while all around are immense precipices where man s toot has nev er trod it has been said that the eagles will fearlessly attack any one attempting to rob its eggs and young but this Is probably much leas often the case than is generally supposed when one of a pair of eagles is trapped or shot the remaining bird has often great difficulty in finding a mate and may haunt its nesting site for several years by itself while soaring round and round their eyrie the eagles utter a musical note somewhat similar to the cry of a wild goose |
