  • Bald Eagle [underlined]. Jasper, Alta. [Alberta] June 2/46 [1946]. Bert [White] today found a bald eagles nest. It is on the east side of the river directly across from mile 6 on the Edmonton highway. The nest is not a large one + is situated in the top of a large Douglas fir. When we revisited the nest this evening the female was feeding the young, one of which was visible above the rim of the nest. Considerable whitewash on the ground. The female is a very large mature bird while her mate is smaller + has the head grayish + the tail with a terminal bar + many flecks of brown on the basal parts. Jasper. June 5/46 [1946] Climbed to nest, one chick just about a month old + the size of a chicken, gray down + contour feathers just coming in. Nest composed of sticks with a two inch layer of dry grass on top. Only food remains, hind foot of a black bear + feathers of a flicker.
