The Widgeon occurs in great abundance on the waters of Utah during 

 the fall, where it is found in considerable numbers even late in November, 

 and, indeed, in the neighborhood of certain warm springs and sloughs about 

 Provo, more or less may find sufficient inducement to keep them all winter-
