Another Tagged Bird heard from.— Mr. J. T. Miner of Kingsville, Ont., 
has a number of wild ducks in semi-domestication along with geese and 
pheasants. Each year he has interesting experiences with wild birds, 
which are attracted by the presence of their kind. 
Last fall his Black Ducks attracted a wild one of the same species on 
August 5, and within a few weeks the bird became so tame, that it could be 
handled. Mr. Miner then put a ring around its leg, and left it at liberty 
as before. About Dec. 15, it left, and the following letter from Mr. W. E. 
Bray, Anderson, South Carolina, gives subsequent history. 
Anderson, S. C. 
On Friday evening, Jan. 14, I was hunting on Hockey River near this 
city, and killed a wild duck, with a band on his leg marked Box 48 Kings¬ 
ville, Ont. 
I supposed who ever sent him out wanted to hear from him, so I am 
writing to let you know where he came to his end. He was a very fine 
specimen. I must commend him for his judgment, for he came to the best 
county in the best state in America. 
If you will let me hear from you, I will return the band I took from his 
leg. So hoping you will send me his pedigree, I will close until I hear from 
you. Send me your address in full. W. E. Bray. 
Mr. Miner writes that Mr. Bray has since sent him the identical ring 
which was on the Duck’s leg. 
Kingsville lies on the north shore of Lake Erie, about twenty-five miles 
from the east end of the lake.— W. E. Saunders, London, Ontario.
