1948 Bucephala clangula 2 Dec.5 (cont'd.) from this species as a boy in Pennsyl. vanus (circa - 1930-31). The ? in flight overhead on Nov.27 produced no noticable whistling sound at all. -N.end Golden Gate fields, San Francisco Bay shore, Albany, Alameda C., Calif.- 2 separate ?? seen, and 2 ?? close together in small tidal pond within race-track fence. The males dove alternately, each surfacing again very close to the other one, which in the meantime had moved forward on the surface. Dec.18- Tomales Bay, Marin C., Calif.- female golden eyes were quite common, especially in the small coas along the NW shore well out toward mouth of the bay. Of an estimated total of 150 seen fully 125 were in the ? plumage; the rest in adult ? plumage of this species. The "whistle" of even the ??'s wings was not nearly so loud or so evident as the noise made by the heavier Scoters. Dec.25- "Del Rey Lagoon" (old Ballona creek bed) at Recreation Men Club, S. of Washington Blvd., Venice, L.A.C. Calif.- 2 female golden eyes on this tidal channel with oil wells on one side & drained salicornia marsh on the other. I also seen on nearby new Ballona Creek channel.
