Along the Atlantic coast it breeds as far north as NovaScotia and New Brunswick, and it has been met with in considerable numbers at FortResolution, on Great Slave Lake, and at Fort Simpson and Fort Rae. In the UnitedStates it is distributed from the Atlantic to the Great Plains, wintering from about 40°southward.
