Abstract
A report was received by Merovka that a large number of wild ducks had been found dead on a small lake located about 15 miles southwest of Dimmitt, Castro County, Texas. The area was visited by Merovka and U.S. Game Agent Boone, who found and picked up 307 dead ducks, nearly all mallards and pintails. The farmer on whose land the birds were found stated that tot he best of his knowledge and belief the birds had all perished on Feb. 27, 1944. Field examination of the birds indicated that they had died at approximately that time. Only 1 sick bird was observed during the field investigation.
