FOURTEENTH REPORT. 
Old Squaw (Herelda hyemalis). 
On March 9 of this year a line adult male of this species was taken 
by Edward Gibson in a small area of open water in the Huron River, 
between Geddes and Superior, Washtenaw County. No others were seen 
by him but a few others were reported by local duck hunters. The 
continued severe cold weather and the frozen condition of the Great 
Lakes no doubt accounts for the presence of this winter duck in this 
vicinity. The species is mostly maratime, altho in the winter it is also 
found on the Great Lakes. It is an expert diver and hundreds are taken 
in deep water gill nets on the lakes. The first record for this county 
known to the writer was secured on December 10, 1901, when several 
were taken in Portage Lake outlet and mounted at Ann Arbor.
