Indian Birds 



never takes to flight from the water. When 

 alarmed it seeks safety by diving. Writing of 

 this bird, Eha says, " I do not know how to 

 describe it better than to say that you might 

 take it for a small chicken without a tail. Its 

 colour is dark glossy brown on the upper 

 parts, with some rich chestnut on the sides of 

 the neck. Young birds are lighter." (Illus. 

 B. B., p. 184.)
