minutes returned with her mate, both 

 circling several times around us, quacking and 

 showing much solicitude. Soon after, having 

 taken as many eggs as we could blow during 

 the remainder of the day, we returned to our 

 lodgings. The second nest of the same species 

 was discovered June 22nd ; the nest was placed 

 on a log among drifted weeds, &c. ; the eggs as 

 in the first instance, were uncovered and 

 smaller than the first set discovered ; they weje 

 six in number, and incubation had commence I. 

 It is my opinion that the few specimens of 

 Acthyia Americana breeding at Mitchell's 

 Bay, were wounded birds, unable to leave in 

 spring, when the bulk of the species had left 

 for northern regions, and I think this will 

 account for their late breeding. It is my 

 intention to send you my experience among 

 other birds of the St. Clair marshes, and hope 

 to hear from others who like myself, take a 

 pleasure in this pursuit.
