In the possession of Mr. Vernon Shepherd, a taxidermist of San Francisco, there is a mounted specimen of a Black-bellied Tree-duck taken in the Imperial Valley, southern California, in the fall of 1912. The specimen was sent with a sack of ducks to the market near the first of the season and was obtained from L. Scatena Company.

I believe this is the first authentic record of the Black-bellied Tree-duck (Dendrocygna autumnalis) for California.
