the panes of glass broken into small pieces, as well as three 
“ Alfoglar” (Long-Tailed Ducks, Harelda glacialis) lymg dead 
inside. There were also three lamp glasses broken, and a third 
pane of glass cracked in many places. On the ground below 
lay nine more birds of the same sort. The Ducks had come
