GREEN-WINGED TEAL.

south as Lake Winnipeg. It is numerous also westward to the 
Pacific slope, breeding in the mountain region of Oregon, and 
northward to Alaska. In the East it is quite common during the 
migrations, though perhaps more numerous in the interior than 
on the lakes and streams adjacent to the coast, and breeding 
chiefly in the Hudson Bay region north of latitude 50 degrees. 
Beim- a strictly freshwater bird, it is rarely found along the 
sea-shore, though I have met with stragglers occasionally near 
the mouths of streams which empty into the Bay of Fundy. 
I cannot indorse Nuttall’s statement that the males are rarely 
seen in the autumn in this region, though they do usually appear 
in small flocks, and separated from the females. 
This species ranges in winter from Florida to Central America. 
Note. — A few examples of the Cinnamon 'Tjla-l (Anas cyan- 
opterd) have wandered from the Pacific slope to the valley of the 
Mississippi and to Manitoba. Another straggler of this group - 
the European Teal {Anas crecca ) been taken on the 
Atlantic coast.
