Breeding Distribution The bufflehead (Fig. 162B) is a western tree-nesting species of scattered breeding occurrence east of Alberta. The very few breeding records of the bufflehead available for Ontario scarcely indicate the real distribution of this species (Erskine, 1971). Although apparently very thinly distributed, it may well breed throughout the forested portions of northern Ontario. It was reported formerly as breeding in the extreme south of Ontario, but such records were never verified and were considered erroneous (Baillie and Harrington, 1936).. 83.
