General Distribution. Eastern North America; north to Nova 

 Scotia and Hudson Bay ; west to the Mississippi. 



Summer Range. The greater number summer in Canada north 

 to Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Hudson Bay and almost to Great 

 Slave Lake ; a smaller number nest in the northern United States, in 

 Maine (Oxford and Washington Counties), New Hampshire (Umba- 

 gog), northern Michigan, northern Minnesota, Manitoba, and Assini- 

 boia (Yorktown). A few are said to breed in the Island of Jamaica. 

 The western limit of the usual range of the species can be marked 

 approximately by a line drawn from Florida to southern Missouri and 

 up the Mississippi River to Minnesota. West of this district it has 

 been taken casually in Louisiana (New Orleans, April 1890), Missis- 

 sippi (Tishomingo County, May 4, 1904), Nebraska (Alda, May 12, 

 1883, Omaha, May 24, 1893), Iowa, (Iowa City, November 27).
