The Hooded Merganser in Stanislaus County, California
Online Full Text
Like many other species of wild fowl this interesting bird (Lophodytes cucullatus) is becoming scarcer on the Pacific Coast, and while still noted in some places it is seldom seen by most of us. In fact it is something like thirty years since one has appeared within my horizon. Hence it was a matter of surprise and pleasure to note a female of this species at the Rancho Dos Rios, Stanislaus County, California, on October 26, 1916. There was but a single individual, feeding near a small bunch of Coots in a slough of seepage water, something like a mile from the Tuolumne River.
