	Common Pochard - Whatbird.com
		Common Pochard Male: Rare visitor to the Aleutian and Pribilof Islands, very rare in rest of Alaska and one record for southern California.
		The four letter common name alpha code is is derived from the first two letters of the common first name and the first two letters of common last name.
		Four-letter (for English common names) and six-letter (for scientific names) species alpha codes were developed by Pyle and DeSante (2003, North American Bird-Bander 28:64-79) to reflect A.O.U. taxonomy and nomenclature (A.O.U. 1998) as modified by Supplements 42 (Auk 117:847-858, 2000) and 43 (Auk 119:897-906, 2002).

	List of North American birds (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Several common birds in North America, such as the House Sparrow, the Rock Dove, the European Starling, and the Mute Swan are introduced species, meaning that they are not native to this continent but were brought here by man from Europe or elsewhere.
		The taxonomic treatment (designation and sequence of orders, families, and species) and nomenclature (common and scientific names) used in the accompanying bird lists adhere to the conventions of the AOU's (1998) Check-list of North American birds, the recognized scientific authority on the taxonomy and nomenclature of North America birds.
		The AOU's Committee on Classification and Nomenclature, the body responsible for maintaining and updating the Check-list, "strongly and unanimously continues to endorse the biological species concept (BSC), in which species are considered to be genetically cohesive groups of populations that are reproductively isolated from other such groups" (AOU 1998).

	Common Pochard Aythya ferina (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		One of the two of West Coast records of Common Pochard away from western Alaska was a male that returned for three winters (with one-winter intervals of absence between visits) associating with a mixed flock including Redheads at an inland lake.
		A Common Pochard arriving in western Alaska might team up with Alaskan Redheads - some of which may annually join the Prairie population in Texas.
		Alternatively such a Pochard might travel to the West Coast with the (presumed) bulk of the Alaskan Redheads, but mix with Prairie birds there, and follow them back across the Rockies for the summer, thence to Texas in the winter.

	Human Disturbances to Waterfowl
		Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos), tufted duck (Aythya fuligula), and common pochard (Aythya ferina) still use the Brent reservoir in autumn and winter despite intensified sailing activities because part of the reservoir which is shallow and marshy is not accessible to boats.
		During the autumn of 1975 Canadian pondweed (Elodea canadensis) choked the northern arm and boating had to be suspended after August, resulting in a build-up of 159 common pochards, 30 tufted ducks, 17 northern shovelers (Anas clypeata), and 12 gadwalls (Anas strepera).
		Distances at which flocks of ducks would move from an oncoming sailing dinghy were estimated for tufted duck at 275 m and common pochard at 450 m, and small groups of smew (Mergellus albellus) to within 100 m.

	Human Disturbances to Waterfowl
		During the period before sailing was zoned a low level of disturbance resulted in near total departure of all water birds.
		During the pre-zoning period, some species such as the green-winged teal (Anas crecca) took flight as soon as a single sailboard or dinghy was launched, while common pochard (Aythya ferina) and tufted duck (Aythya fuligula) followed as soon as the craft approached within about 80 m of the flocks.
		Common pochard and tufted duck continued to be disturbed by sailing for several weeks (5 weeks in the case of common pochard) after the refuge was zoned.

	Aythya ferina
		The male Pochard looks as if he has a fl body but most of this is wrapped up in a copious pale grey bandage.
		Female Pochard can be harder to identify, but there is usually at least a hint of grey brown on their mantle and flanks and their faces usually show pale blotches, especially in front of the eye.
		Pochards are uncommon breeding birds, largely restricted to east England and Scotland.

		It is still described as "common" at several breeding localities (see Distribution), but a significant decline appears to have taken place in numbers during the twentieth century (Williams and Dorner 1991).
		However, in 1936_1937, it was "comparatively common" on a wooded pond at Ban Pa Muat, a locality on the east bank the Mae Ping in an area of rice-paddies.
		During a study in China, several cases of "egg-dumping" were observed, with females of this species laying their eggs in the nests of Common Pochard (seven cases) and Gadwall Anas strepera (one case), and Common Pochard was also observed to lay eggs in the nests of Baer's Pochard (Gao Jihong et al.
