Formerly a scarce summer visitant; rarely reported in recent years. Bischoff (Dall and Bannister 1869) took specimens and eggs Bean (1882) took a specimen at Goddard; Grinnell collected two in 1896 (MVZ specimens examined); Merrill reported (Willett 1914) that a pair formerly nested in Silver Bay. The Johnstones saw one at Goddard 11 to 18 June 1982 and one there in the summer of 1983.
