FuUk affinis, Baird, Birds N. Am., 1858, 791. 



Extremely similar to the preceding but saialler, about 16 ; wing, 8 ; gloss of head 

 chiefly purple; flanks and scapulars less closely waved with blaok(?). It is very difficult 

 to define this bird specifically, and it may be simply a small southern form ; but it 

 appears to preserve its characters though constantly associated with the last. 



Habitat, North America, and south to Guatemala in winter. Breeds in high latitudes 

 and southward at least to the United States border. Part of the West Indies. 



Abundant spring and fall migrant, rare summer resident, perhaps 

 breeding in Northern Ohio. No one of the Ducks of this sub-family are 

 more abundant or regular than this, which, at the proper season, is gen- 

 erally dispersed throughout the State, frequenting equally the lake, re- 

 servoirs, rivers and ponds. Individuals occasionally are seen, both on 

 the lake and in the interior, during summer, and usually a few remain 

 through the winter.
