Text Appearing Before Image: ADVENTURES WITH BIRDS OF PREY 127 Text Appearing After Image: DOWN COMES JOHN CRAIGHEAD ON A ROPE AFTER PHOTOGRAPHING BALD EAGLES He spent several hours aloft taking pictures of the birds in their eyrie, 80 feet above the ground in a huyc sycamore (page 125). The boys usually climbed the tree with spurs, but in descending it was easier and quicker to tie a rope around the waist and be lowered by friends on the ground. Once, in trying to climb up the rope, Frank nearly fell (p. 132). A true American, the bald eagle ranges north to Alaska and northern Quebec and south to central Mexico. One of these "birds of freedom," named "Miss America," was taken to England and trained in falconry by Captain C. W. R. Knight, who has also flown British and African eagles.
