The Golden-eye is hardly common regularly, and fre- 

 quently rare. It sometimes appears in considerable numbers 

 on the rivers and lakes, and may sometimes be found on 

 the larger ponds. It may remain during the winter in fa- 

 vorable localities under favorable conditions. It has not 

 been seen on Lake Erie during the entire winter, but some- 

 times remains into January. It does not breed in the state. 



The Golden-eye is one of the earlier migrants in spring 

 and later in autumn, migrating with the Mallard and Pin- 

 tail. 



43. (152.) CLANGULA ISLANDICA (Gmel.). 



Barrow Golden-eye. 



Synonyms: Glaucionetta islandica, Anas islandica. 



Rocky Mountain Garrot or Golden-eye. 

 McCormick, Auk, 1892, 397. 



If one could judge from the records, this is an almost un- 

 known bird in Ohio. It is reported from Sandusky Bay, by 

 Prof. E. L. Moseley, and has been taken twice in Lorain 

 county, once by Mr. L. M. McCormick (see above refer- 

 ence) and once by the writer, on the Oberlin water- works 

 reservoir. It should be found during the winter on the 

 waters of the northern part of the state.
