206 BIRDS OF BERMUDA. 



Lengtli, 8.50; wing, 4.65: tail, 3.70. 



Hah. — North America at large, north to 57° or farther, west to Eocky 

 Mountains, beyond which only observed in Washington and Oregon 

 Territories and British Columbia ; winters on extreme southern border, 

 and thence into Mexico, Central and South America to Peru ; Cuba. 

 (Coues.) 



Recorded as very numerous in all the swamps in 1850, but not men- 

 tioned as occurring at other time.s, though Mr. Bartram has one or two 

 specimens of a later date. It would appear to be only a spring visitant. 

 A considerable number appeared in April, 1875, a small band of these 

 attaching themselves to the Devonshire and Hungry Bay district, 

 where several specimens, male and female, were obtained. These were 

 all immature, or rather in winter plumage, with the flame-colored head- 

 patch concealed by black tips to the feathers. Lieutenant Denison ob- 

 served several at Hungry Bay on the 22d September, 1875, but was 

 unfortunately unable to procure a specimen and thus establish the fact 

 of the species visiting Bermuda on its southward journey.
