 "As to Summer Duck [there are] 1 Wood Duck; 2 [a duck] said 

 to nest on ground, seen here [Haywood County] at all seasons — 

 size of Teal; male and female very similar, marked like female 

 Mallard; heard them called young mallard — seen and shot them 

 myself for forty years; barely fit to eat."
