Nettion carolinensis. 1888, October 6. Head of Lake Umbagog. Came on a Green-winged Teal, however, behind the island and paddling within 30 yds. shot it as it sat on a snag, preening its feathers. Our boat was grassed at the time. 1888, October 10. Leonard's Pond, Head of Lake Umbagog. We . . discovered four Wood Ducks and a Green-winged 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 Wood Ducks I finally shot the Teal. 52
