1888, Leonard's Pond, Head of Lake Umba yc,. 
October 10. 
We . . discovered four Wood Ducks and a Green-winged x 
Teal. I landed and stalked them but could only find the Teal 
which swam repeatedly past me within a few yards, quacking inces¬ 
santly in a nasal cracked tone almost like the scaipe of a Snipe. 
At length he put his head under his wing and went to sleep. Fail¬ 
ing to get a sight at the 7/ood Ducks I finally shot the Teal.
