Our figure oF this elegant bird was executed from an un- 
usually fine specimen that was shot in the vicinity of South- 
ampton, in the spring of 1816, and kindly communicated by 
Edward Barnard, Esq. it had been observed in the neigh- 
bourhood for some weeks, but was too wary to suffer any 
one to approach sufficiently near to shoot it, until the gentle- 
man who was so fortunate as to obtain it fell in with it quite 
accidentally whilst out with his gun.
