MADE DUCKS FISH FOR THEM
Clever Maneuver Employed by culls,
Seen and Recorded by Eminent
British Naturalist

That was a strange relation indeed
which Mr.. H. J. Massingham, the
British naturalist, noticed between
a flock Of tufted ducks and smaller
flock of sea gulls. In his recent
book, "Some Birds Of the Country
side" he describes what he saw and
incidentally illustrates well the
meaning of the verb ''to gull"
One day, he writes, | saw ninety
six tufted ducks attended by some
thirty gulls. AS soon as duck went
down into the water for food gull
placed itself near by. When the
duck reappeared on the surface the
gull--or sometimes pair of them
left the water and, lowering
yard or two above the birds back,
swooped gently upon it. Down went
the duck again and dropped its food
OF the surface, whereupon the gull
Or gulls-half submerged to re-
cover it. The purpose of the maneu-
yer of course was to fluster the in
nocent duck, and nine times out Of
ten it succeeded.
The same thing occurred day
after day. The food of the ducks
was neither weed nor fish on the
occasions when / watched them, but
so far as l could guess, water snails,
limpets and other fresh-water mol
lusks.
