This species usually breeds in the far north, though Dr. 

 CoUES found a brood of young, in August, in the Rocky Moun- 

 tains, near the 49th parallel, and it is said to remain during the 

 summer near Point des Monts, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. A 

 nest with eggs was taken by Mr. C. C. Beattie at Missisquoi, 

 Lake Champlain ; and. the male, which was sliot near the nest, 

 was identified by Mr. William Couper, of Montreal.

 Atlantic Provinces. In the latter it occurs as a winter visitor only.
