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.

 approximately by a line drawn from Florida to soiithern 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).
