Red-breasted Merganser 
Two records. Both from Plum Island Sound. 
Black Duck 
Twelve records. An annual summer resident of the 
marshes of the valley. 
Blue-winged Teal 
One record. Probably a late migrant or crippled bird. 
Wood Duck 
Six records. Through protection this species seems to 
be increasing of late years and now undoubtedly many 
pair nest annually in the valley. 
American Bittern 
Thirteen records. A common summer resident of the 
marshes. 
Great Blue Heron 
Six records. A migrant found during late seasons. 
Little Blue Heron 
One record. This species has several times been 
reported from the vicinity of I die wood Brook. 
Green Heron 
Six records. Probably an annual summer resident. 
Black-crowned Night Heron 
Thirteen records. At least one good sized heronry 
may be found each summer within a few miles of the 
mouth of the river. 
Virginia Rail 
Five records. This bird probably nests each year in 
the Great Wenham Swamp, but owing to its seclusive 
habits is not always found.
