1880. Maine (Lake Umbagog). (Sept.15) Querquedula discors. A flock of at least forty feeding near the shore of the upper pond meadow. I stalked them carefully but might have saved myself the trouble, for when I rose to shoot they did not seem to notice me in the least and I had to whistle to make them raise their heads. Although I took no pains to get them together I killed - seven with two barrels. The flock almost immediately alighted again and taking our canoe into the pond we paddled up to them and killed six more. They then flew down river where we afterwards found them sitting on the Bar. As we approached they sprang off, huddling close together and walking very fast and gracefully for ducks. These Teal are very tender and easily killed. " 16. A flock of four in the Outlet; very shy. " 18. Six in the lower meadow pond, and the seventh, a single bird, in the Sweat Cove.. 57
