  Just as I was about to start up the 
river Gilbert came in to tell me that he
had seen a Duck on the opposite side of
the river below the cabin. I paddled to
the place and found a Blue-winged Teal
swimming among the pickerel weed feeding
busily I shot it just as it raised its 
head and started off. It is probably the 
same bird that I saw on the 3rd near
Davis's Hill.
