Bird Notes from Shelter Island, Long Island, N. Y. — Lesser Scaup 
Duck (Aythya affinis ). — This duck has been noted in this vicinity several 
times in midsummer. A specimen was shot by a friend of mine on Aug. 
18 of last year (1903). A pair were seen by Dr. Braislin and myself at 
Napeague Harbor on June 20, 1902. None of these were crippled birds, 
and all possessed normal powers of flight, so that their failure to migrate 
with their fellows was surely owing to no physical disability.
