Nettion carolinense (Gmel.) Green-winged Teal. 



Breeding Range. — A few probably have bred in the 

 mountains of north central Pennsylvania (Lycoming 

 County), and it has been reported as nesting near Buf- 

 falo, N. Y. The regular breeding range extends from 

 New Brunswick, through northeastern Quebec and New- 

 foundland, to Ungava Bay, Labrador, latitude 58°. It is 

 a common migrant in Ontario, and hence undoubtedly 

 breeds in the northern part. It has been recorded as a 

 rare breeder in southern Ontario (Toronto, Point aux 

 Pins, Oshawa, Gravenhurst.) The southern boundary of 

 the breeding range to the westward is found in Illinois 

 (Rockford, Lacon, Fernwood), in Michigan (Neebish 

 Island), Wisconsin (Lake Koshkonong, formerly), Min- 

 nesota (Faribault, Heron Lake), Nebraska (Dewey 

 Lake, Badger, Valentine), Colorado (Beloit, San Luis 

 Valley), New Mexico (San Miguel County), Utah (Salt 

 Lake), Nevada (Washoe Lake), Oregon (Fort Klamath.) 

 The range extends north to the edge of the Barren 

 Grounds from near Fort Churchill, Hudson Bay, to Fort 

 Anderson, to Kotzebue Sound and nearly to Point Bar- 

 row. It breeds throughout the Aleutian Chain to the 

 Near Islands. It is rare as a breeder everywhere in the 

 United States east of the Rocky Mountains, and the main 

 breeding grounds are in west central Canada from Mani- 

 toba to Lake Athabaska. It has wandered a few times to 

 the west coast of Greenland, from Nanortalik to Disco 

 Bay, and was once taken in May on the east coast at 

 Nanusek. The species is accidental in Great Britain, the 

 Bermudas and Hawaii. 



Winter Range. — South of the United States it is com- 

 mon in Mexico, at least as far as Jalapa, the City of Mex-
