Some early dates of spring arrival are: Nanton, Alberta, April 13, 1908; 

 Edmonton, Alberta, April 29, 1897, and Fort Simpson, Mackenzie, April 17, 

 1904; while the average date of the last seen at Aweme, Manitoba, is

There is a strange state of affairs in the extreme southwest, where the 

 species breeds on Guadalupe Island, Lower California, and remains there 

 throughout the year — probably the only strictly non-migratory individuals of 

 the species — though it is not known at any time of the year anywhere on the 

 mainland of Lower California.
