Birds of Wakulla County_, Florida 113 



The " Greenhead " is with us in considerable numbers during 

 the late fall and winter. October 22, 1916. 



26. Anas fulvigula fulvigula — Florida Duck. 



A few pairs of " Black Mallards " nest yearly on the broad 

 marshes bordering our rivers and back from the Bay. Presumably 

 they should be referred to this species. 



27. Anas fubripes — Black Duck. 



While the influx of Black Ducks during the winter may be in 

 part of the preceding species our gunners believe they are largely 

 from the North. R. W. Williams, Esq., reports them " Fairly 

 abundant " at East Goose Creek, ten miles west of St. Marks, No- 

 vember 16-24, 1917. The Auk, January, 1919. 



28. Chaulelasmus streperus — Gadwall. 



Occur in irregular abundance from October until about April 

 1. Frequently resort to small ponds off from the rivers. Local 

 name, "Widgeon." 



29. Mareca a.7?i,pr?canfl— Baldpate. 



I have not found it an abundant visitor. Usually a few are 

 shot each winter. 



30. Nettion carolinense — Green-winged Teal. 



Both species of the common Teal are here during the winter, 

 but in much fewer numbers than formerly. A few remain into 

 April. September 26, 1917, April 11, 1915. 



31. Querquediila discors — Blue-winged Teal. 



The Teal are among the first ducks to arrive in the fall and 

 may then often be found associated with Pintail. September 2. 

 1914. 



32. Spatula clypeata — Shoveller. 



The Shoveller may occur more frequently than my notes in- 

 dicate. Gunners occasionally report a " Spoon-bill " Duck being 

 shot. 



33. Daflla acuta — Pintail. 



One of our most abundant winter Ducks. Early to arrive 

 and late in departure. September 24, 1916, early April. 



34. Aix sponsa — Wood Duck. 



The " Summer " Duck is with us in considerable numbers, be- 

 ing found in secluded ponds and less frequented parts of the 

 rivers throughout the year. 



35. Marila americana — Redhead. 



Winter transient. Not numerous. So far as I have observed 

 it occurs less frequently than does the Canvasback. 



36. Marila valisineria — Canvas-back. 



Winter transient. Quite irregular in abundance. During the 

 winter of 1914-15 it was unusually numerous. In 1915-16 quife 

 rare, 1917-18 again numerous.
