The last of May, from the 25th to the 30th, it arrives in the vicinity 
of St. Michael, and breeds sparingly along the Behring sea coast 
of the territory, and more rarely on the shores of Kotzebue sound. 
From the peninsula of Alaska south to Puget sound it is a common 
resident; its range extends beyond the Arctic Circle. (Nelson.) A 
pair of these birds was shot in June, 1876, on the western end of 
Whale island, near St. Michael; they are not common in the interior.
