30 Oneida Historical Society: 



morants are often killed by gunners on Oneida Lake, most 

 of which are undoubtedly of this species. I have several 

 records and have seen at least one myself, but could not secure 

 him. I think the species might fairly be put down as a "Not 

 common migrant."

RED-BREASTED MERGANSER.
