Since the law on shooting black ducks went into effect about Jan. 15th, there are several hundred ducks in the waters of Niantic bay and river and near the shores. Several craft have been on the river at different times and the ducks make no effort to fly. But before the law took effect it was impossible for the hunters to get near enough or within shooting als tance of a duck. Any little noise at that time was enough to start a duck fiying. The hunters found it necessary to spend long hours in the bushes or behind rocks in all kinds of weather, laying for a duck to come near enough to the shore to get a shot at it. There has been a large number of black ducks in the river abreast of Pine Grove. This spot seems to be excellent feed- ing ground for them. Mrs, Ellen V. Weir returned to her bungalow in the grove Monday even- ing after a short business trip to New Haven and her former home in Meri- den.
