In mid-May Mr. and Mrs. liept flying low over the lake. their long, white bodies hold hori- zontslly. Occasionally he flew alone. his very dark green Iieatl showing up in contrast to his white neck; at other times we re- cognized the female because of her reddish-brown, crested head and large, square. white wing-patch.

It wIs interesting to watch them catchi ,, their dinner near the shore. Diving under the water. they used both feet and wings for the sake of speed, and came up several yards Iyvay, grasping I chub or it sucker in their slender, cylindrical bills. Fishing is made casy for Mergansers because their bills have tooth-like edges. and the upper section ends in I sort of hook. The slippery prey can- not escape. , Their favourite time for talking was early morning and rate even- ening. when their quacks sounded like distant barking. One morning in late June Mr. Merganser gave quite In exhibition of quacklng and flying in circles over the roof of the cottage, so low that we could hear the swish of the sil- very-lined wings. and plainly see hlr. peach-coloured breast.
