The harbor at Branchport is cut offfrom the rest of Lake Keuka by a longsandbar through which a channel has beencut to enable the boats to enter and leavethe harbor. There is enough current flow-ing through the channel to keep it free. RED-THROATED LOON Photographed by Verdi Burtch, Branchport N. y., Feb. 18, 1918 from ice even in the very coldest weather,and I frequently find wild ducks there andoccasionally a Holboells Grebe. February 8, 1918, I found a Red-throated Loon in the channel and I wastold by some fishermen that it had beenthere for two or three days. It was ratherslow in its movements, did not dive at alland kept to the opposite side of the channelfrom me. There was a female Canvasbackand a female American Scaup Duck withit in the channel but they flew away as Iapproached. The Loon did not attemptto fly or to dive, but when cornered would slip by and swim rapidly to the otherend of the opening. It stayed in thechannel the next two days, but when Iwent down there on the nth it had leftand it was not seen again.—VerdiBurtch, Branchport, N. Y.
