RECOKDIS, VOLUME XI, MAKCII, 1919. 45 



1. Mergauser, 2. cf and $. 



2. Green-winged Teal 1 $. presumably the same bird 

 which was seen there throughout the winters of 1917-18 

 and was reported again last fall. Bird is very tame and 

 keeps close to the tame Mallards, flying with them when 

 they go up and down the Fenway. 



Am sorry to report a half grown boy, Sullivan by 

 name, carrying a short, strong sling with the evident in- 

 tention of shooting at the ducks.
