For the past two weeks they have been frequently 
seen in Fresh Pond usually in small flocks or two or 
three together. They fish here in shallow water and 
are rather shy of any one on shore but easily approached 
in a boat. Unless wounded they never attempt to a es¬ 
cape by diving, but invariably fly, leaving the water 
with some difficulty. They are exceedingly restless^ 
rarely feeding long in one place, even when undisturbed.
