and the coasts of the United States only by stress of weather; stragglers 
in some numbers as far south as the Canaries (Dresser). 
Mr. Hurdis says: ‘“‘One of these birds was captured alive on the 28th 
January, 1850, by a servant of the Rev. J. U. Campbell, at Ireland Island. 
It was in company with four or five others on a piece of grass-land near 
that gentleman’s house. Unfortunately this specimen was destroyed by 
a pig before I had an opportunity of seeing it. My information was 
obtained from Mr. Campbell himself, who had this bird in his possession.”
