Aythya affinis
June 27 - Little Washoe Lake, 5020 ft., Washoe Co., Nev. - at least 2
[illegible] were on open part of 30 acre lake - did not fly
with other ducks when we got out of our cars. Perhaps
they are wounded or sub-standard individuals. A few
brown ducks far off across the lake may have
been 4 geese.
Latest record for this species here
in 1948 was June 16, when 2 were seen.
