The large Canada Goose nests in Northern Montana, and both the Canada and Snow geese are quite abun- dant during the migratory seasons. The duck family is well represented in Montana, and this water-fowl often nests in this state. The inland duck, such as we have in Montana, is a much better flavored bird than his brother on the coast. The following named ducks are abundant in places during the duck shooting season, viz., the Mallard, Gadwall, American Widgeon, Green- winged Teal, Blue-winged Teal, Cinnamon Teal, (occasionally) Shoveller or Spoon-bill, Wood duck, Canvas-back, Redhead, Broad-bill, often called the Blue-bill, or Scaup, Golden-eye, Ruffle-head or Butter-ball, Amer- ican Socter, Ruddy duck, Pin-tail, or Sprig-tail, American Merganser, Red-breasted Merganser, often called Shell Drake, and Hooded-merganser. The Wood duck is without question the most beautiful member of the duck family, and this bird is reported to be very scarce in the south and east, where it formerly was very plentiful. The Wood duck makes its nest in trees, hence its name. A few Wood duck have made their home in the Flathead Valley, and several have been killed during the open season during the past five years.
