began vacating the sunny inland dams and pot-holes, where they were hatched and raised, early in September. The movement was well under way in mid-month. Methinks the day of the sunny. warm weather duck hunter is about over. Now don't jump to conclus- ions and blame the shifting of the opening day from October lat . --the eel grass come-back is the cause. In 1933 the eel grass died, from a form of blight is the general belief. but exact cause has not been de- finiicly ,established. When'the dis- ease had spent itself out green tidal flats and estuaries had chang- ed to a. bleak expanse of mud. Our waterfowl, ducks, geese and brant, suffered untold hardship and at one phase our eastern brain were conceeded to be on their way out for keeps.

At one stage their numbers had dwindled to a pitiful remnant but they followed the geese and ducks to inland fields and marshes. some- thing heretofore absolutely foreign to their nature. and managed to survive. After 20 years the season was re-opened (1053). During this twenty year period a new crop of duck and goose hunters came into being and salt water shooting came near to becoming a lost art even with the old timers. Our flats were as bare as the Proverbial Mother Hubbard's cupboard and the water- fowl had to either seek food in our stubble fields and inland lakes and marshes or starve to death. A duck or a goose will take grave risks to survive when the chips are down.

Today the situation has changed. Black ducks do not have to stand being pushed) from pillar in post in order to get enough food to as- sure a coating of fat for the cold weather. some in fact do not re- quire any urging to repair to the bountcous salt flats. At low tide birds dabble in and under the eel grass lying prone on the mud. Be- sides the black seeds and other ed- ible portions of the grass a wealth of marine life, lives and thrives in the eel grass beds. When the tide rises they gather in immense rafts and ride out the rough weather. It the weather is fine they enjoy a quiet, soothing rock in the cradle of the deep while waiting for the dinner gong to sound. Regardless of this modern trend quits a few blacks still have a yen for the sheltered inland feeding grounds but - as I mentioned earlier they have developed an independ- ent atreak with the return of natural food conditions.

Many hunters are under the im- presslon that the tasty and plump Blue-wing teal are scarce this sea- son. Like the blacks they began to gather early in places where conditions were to their liking and in some feeding grounds there are several hundred blues. At time of

one of the

writing I estimate in excess of one thousand geese in Queens county with a few hundred in Prince and Kings. The bulk of the Queens County geese are on salt water. Of these approximately 600 are in two concentrations. Ring-necked ducks are numerous in certain districts while Baldpate (Widgeon) and Pin- tail are becoming more common with each passing season. The Plntail is a slender, greyish duck, arid is frequently spotted among a flock of blacks. Its a swift llyer and top table bird.

I-lun and "pheasant prospects are on a par, with last in most districts and in others have definitely in- creased. As-with the ducks success on opening day may depend a lot upon luck and being in the right place at the right time . . . shooting straight in another essential that must not be overlooked. Methinks its the hunter who is not afraid to use his legs a the one who will bag the most uns. Hunting them from a car produces a wealth of pleasant scenery but it takes more than sights to fill the roasting pan.
