ATTRACTING THE WILD DUCK There is a little woodland glade, con- taining an acre or so, on my place, an opening in the woods surrounded by red maples, birches, alders, poison sumach, white azalea, high-bush blueberries, etc., which I flooded one winter merely as a safe skating pond for the children in the neighborhood. Imagine my surprise and delight when one spring day, after the ice had gone out, I discovered there a whole flock of wild wood-ducks, and later during the summer was aljle to watch a flock of little "flappers," the progeny of a pair of wild black ducks that had bred there. Herons came there, too, and red wings fre- cjuented the edge of the pond. From an uninteresting swamp the place had been 335.
