On page 141 of February Recreation 

 there is a note on a hybrid duck, from 

 a Mr. Noxon, of Wellington, Ont. Why 

 I refer to it is that last fall when I was in 

 Winnipeg, Man, a local taxidermist there 

 showed me what he took to be a hybrid 

 between the redhead and bluebill. but it 

 was simply a fine male ring necked duck. 

 When I read the above it "struck me" like 

 a flash that possibly this is one of the same 

 birds as the ring neck is not common in 

 Ontario, especially mature males, and this 

 bird might strike one as being like the 

 above mentioned "hybrid" on account of 

 the fine copper neck coloring.

Editor Recreation: 



I saw the article in your April issue about 

 wild pigeons, and it reminds me of a simi- 

 lar story. A few years ago I met Captain 

 Ennis, of Sandusky, Ohio, who claimed to 

 be a retired captain. He said he had sailed 

 through miles of dead wild pigeons on the 

 great lakes. He said the birds in trying to 

 fly across the lakes in foggy weather, would 

 eet bewildered and flv around until ex- 

 hausted. Then they would drop in the 

 lake and drown.
