Ring-necked Duck Again from near Corona, California

I wish to report the capture of an adult male Ring-necked Duck (Aythya collaris) on December 9, 1920, on the grounds of the Pomona Recreation Club, near Corona, California. The bird was shot by Mr. A. P. Hapwood, of Upland, and was brought to me for identification. The bird was one of a band of four, all likely of the same species. This duck seems to be a rather rare visitor in this locality, as during several years of hunting on this Club I only collected this species once (see CONDOR, XVIII, 1916, p. 85).
