Green-winged Seal* 
Of the total masher of birds banded 336, or slightly more than 
one fourth, were green-winged teals, a 49 of those marked haw been re¬ 
ported by hunters (see Sable 3). Among 23 of these birds killed near 
their place of release (near the month of Bear hirerj, 21 were taken 
during the same fall in which they ware sot fro©, after periods varying 
from a few days to more than a month. Swo however survived fen* slightly 
more than a year, only to be taken in this same region* Seven others 
were reported from Utah, two from the mouth of the Weber Elver, and four 
from the marshes along the Jordan Hirer car the sloughs west of Salt lake 
City* One, set at liberty on Utah Lake, was hilled ia the same vicinity 
two days later. All seven wore taken daring the fall in 'which they were 
banded. 
It would appear tli&t the majority or at least may of the green- 
winged teals found ia fall in the Salt hake Valley pass in a&gration to 
California, as 19 of the return records come from that State. Several 
were secured in the southern Sacramento Valley and others farther south 
in the marshes of the San Joaquin Blvor in Merced and i'resno Counties* 
Hone were found north of Sacramento, but to the south, records come from 
as far down as Gemltropic and Vasco, in Born County, in the interior} and 
from Orange County, south of Los Aug ales, on the coast* A coastal record 
of interest Is that from Watsonville, Santa Cruz County, south of San 
Jrancisco Bay. Several wore secured in the famous ducking grounds in the 
vicinity of Los Banos. One of those individuals was taken as early as 
Hovember 17, and all others during the months of December and January.
