j, a te in the afternoon September 19th we started a pair of 
these Ducks from a shallow pond in the marsh near the outlet of 
he lake. They rose within twenty yards of me and I had a good 
view of them, seeing the gray so distinctly as to I eel 
perfectly sure of their identity. The male had i black head and 
appeared to be an adult bird. Half an hour later they returned 10 
the same pond, but T failed to approach within gup^shot and did 
not see them again. When we came upon them the time I was so 
J;|" placed in the boat that 1 could not use my gun without danger to my 
comp an i o n wh o was r ow i n g.
