Summer resident, common. Abun- dant in migration. Our observations lead us to infer that it does not nest in as large numbers at Barr as most of the common ducks, altho judging from the num- ber of birds seen it is fully as common as the other species. D0.illa acuta. Pintail. Resident. With the exception of the teal the most abundant breeder at Bart. A few birds remain thruout the_winter, and the first spring migrants from the south are usually Pintails. Aix sp0nsa. Wood Duck.
