Last Friday morning Joe Under- coffer witnessed the flight of a large bald eagle over Bellefonte, the first of the species seen in this section in years. The bird was flying compara- tively low so that it's bald head was easily discernible. It was flying east and made no effort to alight. Along about noontime the same day Mrs. William Vastine, of Dan- ville; found an eagle along. the road a short distance from that city, eith- er sick or exhausted, and was able to capture it by throwing a coat over the bird. She took it in her au- tomobile into Danville and turned t over to game warden Harry Miller, and the question now is was it the same bird Mr. Undercoffer saw fly- ing over Bellefonte early in the morn- ing?
