Extract

In the spring of 1932, Mr. Otto Schierbeck, Chief Forester for the Province of Nova Scotia, forwarded several Black Ducks (Anas rubripes) which he had collected in a dead or dying condition on the shores of Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia, to the Animal Diseases Research Institute, Hull, Quebec. Mr. Schierbeck stated that the ducks had arrived there on their northward migratory flight six weeks earlier than usual, and after a period of hardship, had commenced to die in large numbers; and although the popular belief was that starvation was the cause of these deaths, he was not convinced that this was the case, owing to the apparently short period between the first signs of sickness and death.
