The female Harlequin Duck was taken this morning by a duck
hunter set up to the west of the bridge at E 72nd Street.

He shot the duck after it landed amongst his Mallard decoy spread.
Where is the sport in shooting a swimming duck?  I wonder what is
the bag limit on Harlequin Ducks in Ohio?  It had landed probably
thirty feet from his boat, the hunter surely was able to see that
it was something out of the ordinary.
