Hah. — Eastern North America to the Lower Missouri (to Upper Missouri, Jitduhon),- 

 Migratory in most of the United States. Breeds from N(!W England, and jjiobably 

 mountains of Middle States, northward. Wint(!rs on Key West, Florida {M<(yiiard), 

 and abundantly in various West Indian Islands. No Mexican nor Central American 

 quotations. 



The United States range of this elegant si)ecies seems to be very 

 nearly coincident with that of the last, but its winter resorts are differ- 

 ent, as seen by the above citations. Andubon's <inotation of the head- 

 waters of the Missouri has not been verified by later observations, and 

 nuist be held for contirniation ; not impossibly, confusion with the some- 

 what similar I), nigrescent led to an erioneous record. Dr. Hayden did 

 not find it. In the Middle States, wiiere the species is migratory, I 

 used to find it common every spring and fall, during the migrations; 

 oftenest in low and tangled w«)ods, but also in open forest in company 

 with vlrcns and others. I am not aware of any s[)ecitied instances of 

 its breeding south of the Canadas and Northern New England ; but Mr. 

 Allen notices its recurrence in Massachusetts "in the breeding season," 

 and Dr. Turnbull says a few remain to breed in his locality. Audubon 

 describes a nest from Oalifax, Nova Scotia, as being ])laced on ihe hori- 

 zontal bough of a tir, seven or eight feet from the ground, and comi)osed 

 of bark-slii)s, mosses, and tibrous roots, lined with tine grass and a warm 

 bed of feathers. Eggs four to five, rosy-white, sparsely sprinkled with 

 reddish-brown at the larger end.
