51. Oidemia americana. American Scoter. — Regular fall migrant, 
in October and probably November, never common; adult females are 
rare, and no males in full plumage have been taken, nearly all the birds 
examined having been immature. Males in full plumage no doubt occur, 
as one was taken at Belmont Lake, near Havelock, Ont. (100 miles east of 
Toronto, October, 1900).
