The most western locality hitherto recorded for this species is the Loup 

 Fork of the Platte, where it was taken by Lieutenant Warren's expedition. 



While at Provo, Utah, we received undoubted evidence of its existence 

 in the marshes of the river, where it lived in company with the preceding 

 species. Although no individuals were actually captured, the nests and 

 eggs were seen which had been secured in this locality.
