among some alders and covered with grass to serve as a blind.
We passed them and chose a position at the head of the channel
beyond the island where I stood up behind a stub and awaited
the evening flight of water fowl. We saw several flocks of
[delete]Wood[/delete] Black Ducks early and at about sunset five Wood Ducks came up
through our channel flying low but as they neared my point
they swerved and passed fully sixty yards away. I gave them
one barrel only and that without effect. They kept on toward
the flock of decoys to which they descended on set wings but
they discovered the deceit and again sheered getting three
shots from the blind but suffering no apparent injury. A Marsh
Hawk came through the meadow and by squeaking I called him
to within 20 yards of me, but not caring for him did not
shoot.

  As twilight fell several Muskrats appeared swimming along
the shores. There were many bats also. We went back to camp
through the pond and past Moose Point.
