10 Cueck List oF 
50. Wood Duck. 
(Aix sponsa.) 
A summer resident. Nowhere abundant. Breeds in 
many places along the Lower Fraser—Sumas, Chilliwhack, 
Burnaby Lake. 
51. Redhead. 
“Pochard.” (Aythya americana.) 
A resident. Not common. Winters on the coast. I 
found it breeding around a few of the lakes between Clin- 
ton and the 108-Mile House. 
52. Canvas-back. 
(Aythya vallisneria.) 
A resident. Nowhere abundant, nor is it so much 
sought after as either the mallard or teal. During April 
and May of this year, I found them in pairs on the lakes 
near the 108-Mile House, Cariboo Road, where I was told 
by the residents they breed. Winters on the coast. 
53. American Scaup Duck. 
“ Blue-Bill” (Aythya marila nearctica.) 
An abundant resident. Breeds chiefly east of the Cas- 
cades. Winters on the coast. 
54. Lesser Scaup Duck. 
(Aythya affinis.) 
During the fore part of May, this year, I shot one of 
these ducks on a small lake on the top of the hills, about 
three miles from Ashcroft. There were seven or eight in 
the flock, and during a stay of four weeks in the upper 
country these were the only ones I saw, nor am I aware 
that they are at all common on the coast. 
55. Ring-necked Duck. 
(Aythya collaris.) 
Not common. I have seen it in Victoria Harbour, and 
Mr. Brooks has taken it at Chilliwhack.
