BUFFLE-HBAD, OH BUTTER-BALE (CH ARITONETTA ALBEOLA) 
and Oregon. I killed one several years 
ago as far south as Los Angeles county, the 
only one I have ever known to get that far 
away from his northern home. 
The harlequin duck (histrinnicus histrion- 
iciis) is a northern bird that comes but little 
into the United States on either coast. A few 
stragglers are met with in Oregon and Wash- 
ington and an occasional one is killed in 
California. These and the old squaw add a 
pleasing variety to our mounted collections, 
but nothing to our sport. 
The .scoters, or coots, as they are called on 
the Atlantic coast are all found on this coast 
southward to Mexico. Of these the white- 
winged scoter (oidemia deglandi) is the most 
common, being found in large numbers on all 
the bays and inlets of the coast as far south as 
uai{lequin duck (iiisthionicus iiis’I'hu)nicus)
