The Scaup Duck is a winter visiter to this country, and 

 rather a late one, seldom making its appearance till the end 

 of October, or the beginning of November, .ibout which 

 time, particularly if the weather be rough and cold, they 

 arrive in small flocks on various parts of the coast, and at 

 the mouths of rivers, but do not very often visit the waters 

 of inland counties. They appear to prefer low, flat, muddy.
