The Green-winged Teal (Nettion carolinensis) breeding in California
While engaged in field work for the U. S. Biological Survey along the west shore of Tulare Lake, California, I secured a female Green-winged Teal and set of seven eggs, July 7, 1907. The brooding bird was shot as she flew from the nest. Several other ducks of the same species were seen within a few miles, and appeared to be part of a quite local colony.
This is apparently the first record of the nesting of Nettion carolinensis in the State.
