WATERFOWLS 



Swans, Geese, Ducks 



The tracks of these aquatic game birds are so 

 much alike that only the difference in size makes 

 it possible to distinguish the species and varieties 

 of ducks and geese; if they are of similar size 

 they cannot possibly be told apart. Where the 

 tracks are seen during cold weather at small open 

 streams or springs, it is certain that the birds visit 

 there at night, doubtlessly coming from a big 

 stream or lake, perhaps many miles distant; by 

 waiting for them at sundown royal sport can be 

 obtained. During summer, on grassy places 

 near water, young geese and ducks usually make 

 numerous small paths, similar to those made by 

 upland birds, but broader.
