 Hocks on Lakes Salvador and Catawatchie, as late as April

Very common during winter in suitable localities, and 

 breeding in isolated places in various sections of the state. I 

 found them mating iu the middle of January, 1890, a few 

 miles from Madisouville, and on January 29th, of the same 

 year my dog retrieved a young one, but a few days old, near 

 Covington. It is very common in winter on Avery's Island.
