AN ANNOTATED LIST OF THE BIRDS OF COLDSTREAM, ONTARIO, 



VICINITY. 



By a. a. Wood. 



1. Ho.EOlL' l's Grebf, Co/j;77ifcus /io/f)oc//i. One 

 shot, Oct. 6, 1902, on Duncrief pond four miles 

 north of Coldstream by Roger T. Hedley. The 

 specimen is in my collection. No. 1 ,402. 



2. Horned Grebe, Colymbus auritus. A few 

 stop on the mill-pond nearly every spring; only an 

 ccasional one seen in fall. They seem much friend 

 lier than the Pied-bill, while here, especially when 

 a single bird comes. If ycu sit quietly at edge cf 

 pond, it will swim within a few feet of you then fly 

 to other end of pond, only to drift back again. It 

 will repeat this several times, uttering its plaintive 

 cry at intervals. 



3. Pied-billed Grebe, Podilymbus podiceps. 

 A pair bred here quite regularly previous to 1904: 

 rather rare now in spring; common and regular in 

 fall. 



4. Loon, Cavia immer. A single bird seen every 

 three or four years in spring; rare in fall. 



5. Herring Gull, Larus argentatus. A few- 

 small Hocks pass through each spring and fall, some 

 resting on the pond a few hours. I think the birds 

 that touch here are passing between Lakes Huron 

 and Erie. Coldstream is about in a straight line be- 

 tween Grand Bend and Pt. Stanley making it nearly 

 a fifty mile flight direct. 



6. Bonaparte's Cull, Larus Philadelphia. Two 

 came in spring of 1900. One was shot. Have a 

 specimen taken by R. T. Hedley, at Duncrief, Apr. 

 26, 1902. 



7. Common Tern, Sterna hirundo. I have two 

 specimens shot by R. T. Hedley at Duncrief; the 

 first, I believe to be taken in Middlesex. 



8. Black Tern, Hydrochelidon nigra surina- 

 mensis. One specimen in my collection taken by 

 R. T. Hedley at Duncrief ^also a first record for 

 this county. 



9. Merganser, Mergus americanus. A few stay 

 in the open rapids of the creek every other year, 

 through January and February often they will walk 

 away from the water in the snow considerable dis- 

 tances. 



10. Hooded Merganser, Lophodytes cucullatus. 

 Not regular. Have taken them both spring and 

 autumn. 



M. Mallard, Ana^ olatyrhynchcs. Very ir- 

 regular; more seen at Duncrief. 



12. Black Duck, Anas rubrlpes. Fairly com- 

 mon migrant. A flock of nearly 200 stayed in a 

 slough, two miles south, about two weeks in August, 

 1917. The flocks very seldom come to the ponds; 

 they seem to like the little sloughs back in the fields, 

 especially late in the season. 



13. Green-winged Teal, Netiion caroUnense. 

 I have never seen them near in spring; alway.^ a 

 few come through in the fall. 



14. Blue-winged Teal, Querquedula discors. 

 Not as ommon as the Green-wing. 



1 5. Shoveller, Spatula clypeaia. Only one 

 specimen noted.
