Photograph byJoseph Dixon DUCKS E'LEEING TO THE LAKE WHEN FRIGHTENED BY A DOG The sportsman, to whom "the outing in the open is the thing, not the amount of blood-stained feathers inthe bag," will find abundant oppor tunity at Lake Merritt to match his skill against the speed of wild ducks if he will substitute a speedy shutter and lens for hisshotgun, and fast plates for shells. Some one may say that this is too easy to be interesting; but just let him try to getthat flock ofPintails "slanting in"onset wings, or to "stop" a male Pintail as he "climbs" skyward. The chances are that such a photographer-hunter will, with undiminished pleasure, soon be using the camera more, and the shotgun less.
