calls it a rare spring migrant near Toronto, and the Ottawa 

 Club have met with but one example, though Dr. Wheaton 

 mentions it as a rare and irregular spring migrant (in Ohio), but 

 abundant and regular in the fall. Mr. Barnston took it on the 

 north shore of Lake Superior. Dr. Coues found it very abund-

 summer resident of Western Manitoba. Drexler took examples 

 at Moose Factory and Fort George, on Hudson's Bay, and Mr. 

 Ross met it at Great Slave Lake. It winters in Central America.

 of Montreal, while Mr. Neilson knows of but one specimen that
