An examination of the banding files in the Biological Survey adds 

 but little information to knowledge of the migrations of this bird. 

 Although it has been banded in fair numbers (more than 1,700 pre- 

 vious to July 1, 1937) the farthest recovery record is only about 80 

 miles south of the point of banding. There are, however, several 

 cases of return in subsequent seasons to the banding stations. 



Casual records. — Records of this species outside its normal range 

 are not numerous. A single specimen was taken in the Chiricahua 

 Mountains, Ariz., in the spring of 1894; one was observed in Salt 

 Lake City, Utah, in June 1874; and one was noted near Fortine, in 

 northwestern Montana, on June 18, 1931.
