About a dozen instances of the occurrence of this 

 American species have been recorded, most of them in 

 places in our southern counties. It is not known to 

 have occurred on continental Europe. 



In America, its true home, it breeds abundantly in 

 the Arctic Regions and after that season migrates south- 

 wards to spread over nearly the whole of Central and 

 South America, reaching Cape Horn and the Falkland 

 Islands. [0. S.]
