January 30, 1911. The drake binnamon teal has just completed his moult and is in high plumage. Feb. 19, 1911. Got a female on Feb. 13 by trading female Shoveller. The male and female became very chummy right off. The female is very jalous and warns off any birds who ap- proach her mate by bobbing her head up and down and clucking. She particularly objects to the female Pintail "Sallie". Feb. 26, 1911. Have noted binnamon Teals copulating three times during week. For a moment afterwards the male assumes a statuesque pose with necked arched and elevated and with bill pointing almost perpendicularly downwards towards the water. Afterwards both bathe. March 14, 1911. I have noted the binnamon teal copulating several times since last mentioned. No signs of nesting yet. April 9, 1911. Sexual intercourse observed occasionally. Seem to be thinking of nesting as I saw the drake come out of a secluded box the other day. He also drove other birds from the vicinity.
