Late on October and early in November Mr.Heber Jones and 
his son made a number of visits to the pond hole in the mead¬ 
ows just below Davis's Kill and on nearly every occasion they 
found Black Ducks there. They killed six or eight in all and 
two or three others were shot at about the same time in Goose 
Pond but although.! was constantly on the river I did [not]see 
a single bird of this species until Nov.14, when I found a Si 
flock of four in the little bayou at the head of Beaver Dam 
Rapid. I flushed them from the same place on the evening of 
the 15th and Pat's son Jimmie said that he saw them on the 
18th.
