Hab. — The typical form in North America from Atlantic to Pacific, 

 ranging irregularly southward in flocks in winter to the Middle States 

 (sometimes a little beyond), and corresponding latitudes in the West. 

 No late record of breeding in the United States. (Coues.) 



Only recorded previously in 1847 and 1850. Two were obtained, Feb- 

 ruary 8 and October 11, in the former year. In March, 1850, flocks of 

 this bird appeared in the neighborhood of St. George's, and several 

 specimens were obtained there and elsewhere throughout the islands. 

 A goodly number visited the islands in small flocks in January, 1875 ; 

 these were very tame at first, but soon became shy. Specimens were 

 obtained during the month at all parts of the islands.
