Four or five occurrences in the British Islands of 

 this American Cuckoo have been recorded, and a few 

 on the continent of Europe. 



Its true home is North America, where it resides 

 during the summer months and where it breeds as well 

 as in some of the West-Indian islands. In winter it 

 migrates to South America, where it has been traced 

 as far south as Argentina. [O. S.]
