Genus GLAUCIONETTA Stejn. 



56-151-(725). <;iaucioiietta clanj?iila americana (Bonap.). American Golden- 

 eye; Golden-eye; Whistler; Garrot. 



"Conimon from the north, late in November, and often reoaains all winter on 

 open Bpote of swift running rivers, dives at the flash of a gun, and will escape shot 

 at thirty feet to my certain knowledge " (Dr. M. Gibbs); " rather common migrant 

 at Albion" (O. B. Warren); '•occasionally seen in Black River, six miles west of 

 Port Sanilac in fall and open winters" (W. A. Oldtield); "throughout the state" 

 (A. H. Boies); reported from Kent Co.; migrant; "Dr. Brayton gives this as a 

 winter resident on Lake Michigan" (Amos W. Butler); "common in early spring 

 and late fall on Saginaw Bay " (N. A. Eddy); " winter resident on Lake Michigan 

 and open inland lakes" (Prof. Ludwig Kumlein); "Keweenaw Point" (Kneeland); 

 "common on the rapids of the St. Mary's river all winter" (C. S. Osborn) "this 

 bird is taken at Pine Lake, is a fine game duck and is so quick to dive that it 

 ie difficult to shoot it on the water " (A. H. Whitehead). There are several of 

 these ducks in the collection of Mr. Levi Broas, of Belding, Mich., taken by him 

 in that locality. I think this a common species all through the Southern Peninsula. 



57-152-(726) GHauciouetta islandica {OmeL). Barrow's Golden-eye. 



Brayton in his '" Birds of Indiana " gives this as a winter resident of Lake Mich- 

 igan; " one taken at Hillsdale from a flock on the lake in 1892" (F. M. Falconer); 

 "only taken on Lake Michigan as a rare straggler" (Ludwig Kumlein); "not 

 uncommon winter resident on Lake Michigan" (H. Nehrling); embraced by Stock- 

 well in his list of Michigan birds (F. and S., Vol. VIII, pp. 23, 380); " abundant at 

 Saginaw Bay in spring and fall. While the other ducks take to the open lake 

 during the middle of the day, this species remains more in or near by the 

 marshes" (N. A. Eddy).
