LIFE HISTOEIES OF NORTH AMEEIOAN DIVIKG BIRDS. 19 



southern Labrador, southwestern New Brunswick (St. Croix River 

 and St.- Andrews), probably parts of Quebec and Ontario, central 

 western Minnesota (Grant County) and North Dakota (Turtle 

 Mountains and Sweetwater Lake). West to northwestern Montana 

 (Swan Lake), central northern Washington (Okanagan and Chelan 

 Counties) and northwestern Alaska (Selawik Lake, coast of Nor- 

 ton Sound and Yukon River). North to northeastern Siberia 

 (Saghalin Island and Marcova and Gichiga, Anadyr District), 

 Yukon Territory (Forty Mile) and northern Mackenzie (Fort 

 Anderson, Nahanni River, and Peel River). 



Occasional in summer south of its breeding range. New Jersey 

 (Englewood, June), New Hampshire (Kingston and Newton, birds 

 seen from May 15 to August 5, with young July 2 to August 1) and 

 Washington (Bellingham Bay). Maine breeding records are con- 

 sidered erroneous and Labrador nestings are open to doubt.

 eastern Maine (Washington County) and west central New York 

 (Cayuga Lake) south to North Carolina; casually to Georgia (St. 

 Marys) and Tennessee (Reelf oot Lake) . From southern British 

 Columbia (Okanagan Lake and Vancouver Island, Victoria) and 

 western Washington (Puget Sound region) south to southern Cali- 

 fornia (Santa Barbara). Also on the Great Lakes: Lake Ontario 

 (Toronto), Lake Erie (Near Ashtabula, Ohio), Niagara Falls and 

 Lake Michigan (near Chicago, Illinois). Wintering records from 

 the interior are few and unsatisfactory. Recorded in winter from 

 the Pribilof Islands (St. Paul), Aleutian Islands (Unalaska), Ko- 

 diak Island, and Japan.
