WIGEON.

Here is a note referring to the well-known call of the drake Wigeon . Eehruary 22, 1884. Diakes 
commencing to whistle. The mandibles are opened wide for several seconds before a sound is emitted.” It 
is also stated that these birds were particularly noisy about the end of October, calling continually for several 
liours when their haunts were not intruded on by strangers ; as I was a frequent visitor, little notice was 
taken of my presence.
