48. Harelda hyemalis. Old-squaw. — An abundant winter resident, 
November 15 to May 12 (latest June 2, 1899). Whenever the western 
channel is free of ice, flocks of many hundreds of Cowheen, as they are 
called here, assemble to feed on the sewerage that flows into Toronto Bay 
at that point, and become very tame, allowing a close study of their habits; 
many die of starvation during the winter. In 1894 birds taken on May 2 
were in full winter plumage, and by May 12 some were in full summer 
plumage and others had only partially changed, but as a rule they leave 
before changing.
