Abstract:
612 Harlequin Duck records are given for Lincoln County, and
another 74 records are listed for other coastal counties. In Lincoln County,
Harlequins are found mostly in winter, there were often more males than
females, the most ever counted was 14, and there is no indication that they
nested.
In contrast, Alex Walker's unpublished nesting record in 1940 is given
for Tillamook County, and as many as 75 Harlequins were found in June along
the Lane County coast, so they may nest nearby, as Gordon (1984) reports.
