Occurs throughout North America and is more common in the from the Northwestern States northward to Alaska. It ranges inwinter south to Cuba and Jamaica, although it is only a straggler and is byno means common in Florida. I have occasionally killed specimens as farsouth as Cape Canaveral. This species is common off the coast of Virginia and Chesapeake Baydurino- the winter months. It does not breed on the Atlantic * A single instance is on record of a pair Ijeing found breeding near Calais, Maine. 228 key to the water birds of FULVIGULA Stephens.
