 49* Anas penelope Linn. European Widgeon. 



Breeding Range — Northern portions of Old World. 

 Rare strao-gler during migrations or in winter on the coast or large 

 rivers. One was shot on the Delaware near Chester, Pa., March, 

 1887 (Voelker), and several are reported to have been taken at 

 Tuckerton, N. J., about 1880 (Forest and Stream, 1882, p. 86). Mr. 

 Chapman also records one shot at Englewood, N. J., by Mr. Cor- 

 nelius Demarest in Spring of 1880 or 1881 {Auk, 1889, p. 302).

Tolerably common transient on the larger rivers, but apparently
