. Wild fowl shooting. Containing scientific and practical descriptions of wild fowl: their resorts, habits, flights and the most successful method of hunting them ... Hunting; Game and game-birds. .CHAPTER 11. MALLARD DUCK. (Anas JBoschasJ) 'Tis said, that when once a Mallard chooses her mate And death, or accident, destroys her lover, She mourns her loss, submits to fate. But during that year, chooses no other. Not a bird in the United States is more familiarly- known than the Mallard. It is seen throughout the Western States and Territories, and the chief object of pursuit in wild fowl shooting. Their habits, resorts and the best methods to hunt them successfully are so fully treated of in other parts of this volume, that it would be like adding surplusage to an explanative treatise, were I to refer to them very fully here. Their migration begins in early spring; indeed, be- fore spring has actually come, they wend their flight.
