Hab.—North America, in winter south to about 35°; Alleghanies, 
breeding ; Bermuda. (Coues.) 
Not a great many have occurred, though it would appear to visit the 
islands on both migrations. One was shot by Dr. Cole, Twentieth 
Regiment, on October 31, 1846; one by Mr. Hurdis, January 23, 1847; 
another by Colonel Wedderburn, near Harris Bay, March 12, 1850; and 
a fourth by Mr. J. M. Jones, on the “Model” farm, Smith’s parish, in 
January, 1872. Besides these, there are three specimens in Mr. Bar- 
tram’s collection. Most of these above-mentioned examples were in 
immature plumage. One in Lieutenant Denison’s collection was shot 
near the garrison instructor’s house, at Prospect, on the 1st January, 
1876. 
It is strange that the other North American species, C. ludovicianus, 
of more southerly distribution on the continent than C. borealis, should 
not have been observed in Bermuda.
