Although we have several accounts of the nesting of (E. hcesitata in the West Indies 

 in former days, there is no recent record of its breeding there, but, as occasional 

 specimens may still be met with, it is probable that Guadeloupe and Dominica are 

 still nesting haunts. 



During the winter months it wanders northwards, and eleven specimens have been 

 recorded by Professor J. A. Allen from North America (Auk, 1904, p. 383, PL 22).
