HOODED MERGANSER 



April 28 

 (Lake Forest) 



SAW three in the lake; they dive like 

 loons. The white back of the crest 

 was most conspicuous, only it looked yel- 

 low in the strong afternoon sunlight. 

 They stay under water quite a while, and 

 throw themselves down, when they start 

 to dive, with the utmost vigor.
