BIRDS OF ONTARIO. 15 
Mr. MclIlwraith records the capture of one specimen at St. Clair 
flats, the only one I have heard of. 
Genus BRANTA. 
60. Canada Goose. 
(Branta canadensis.) 
A regular spring and autumn visitor to our marshes but not 
nearly so abundant now as formerly. Some probably breed in the 
unfrequented marshes of the northern part of the Province, as they 
bred in Southern Manitoba before the settlement of the country.

An occasional spring and autumn visitor.

A rare visitor.

63. Whistling Swan. 
(Olor columbianus.) 
Of somewhat irregular occurrence, generally a few are seen in the 
spring. 
64. Trumpeter Swan, 
(Olor buccinator.) 
Like the last, rarely seen now. Some few of this species may 
however breed in the northern part of the Province, as they do so in 
Iowa, Minnesota and Dakota.

Suborder IBIDES. Ibises, etc. 
Famity IBIDID. _IBISEs.
