     Single birds found dead in traps at Mt. Stewart Marsh in 1957: Nov. 17, 
     
     29 and 30. Some of these are in my personal collection. 
     
    

    
     I have trapped for a good number of years here and this is the only 
     
     time I have taken any. The fall and early winter of the 1957—58 
     
    

    
     season was very mild. This indicateS'that most years they are gone 
     
     south before Nov. 1. 
     
    

    
     One heard calling at Mt. Stewart Marsh during May 15, l6, 19, 27 and 
     
     June 3, 1961.

     On Oct. 30, 1958 the late Lane Pigot shot four of these ducks at Mt. 
     
     Stewart Marsh. I sent the skin of one to the National Museum of 
     
     Canada. The largest flock I have seen was on Nov. 27, 1966 (34) at 
     
     Black Pond Bird Sanctuary.
