The only record of the occurrence of this species within our limits 

 is that given by Mr. E. W. Nelson, who states: "A single specimen 

 of this species was obtained Dec. 16, 1875, by Mr. Chas. Douglas at 

 Waukegan. The bird was found in a sheltered ravine, extending a 

 short distance into the bluff, bordering the lake shore near the above 

 named place and showed no alarm when approached. Nothing 

 peculiar was observed concerning its habits, except that its move- 

 ments were very sprightly." (Birds N. E. 111., 1876, p. 94.)
