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 Srd near Dav¬ 
is's Hill
