HUTcHINsoN-w mallards raised on the
sanctuary at the Anderson Hill farm near this city,
satisfied with civilization and it's ways and when
they get the wanderlust, settle down in the COM
parative safety of civilization and do not heed the
call of the wild.
The above was demonstrated this week when
]. M. Eheim received card from the United States
Bureau of Biological Survey stating that female
mallard duck banded by Mr.. Ehm and SAM G. And
erson on October 80, $780, discovered on the
farm of ]. Webb, at Motion, Kansas, the 18th of
January. Mr.. Webb wrote to the bureau to report
the finding of the banded malards and said that the
duck had come to his farm and mingled with his
tame ducks evidently preferring their company to
that of the wild fowl.
The duck is evidently one of the many which
has been fed and cared for at the Anderson Hill
farm sanctuary where hundreds of wild maards can
be seen at times especially during the spring and
fall mgrstions, about the duck pond.
