They are seen in Newfoundland and Labrador, right across the most northern regions of Quebec and around the shores of Hudson Bay and Baffin Island. It is also seen across all the territories and Alaska and south through British Columbia as well as touching into Alberta, Montana and Wyoming. During the non-breeding season they are found from California across the southern states to the tip of southern Florida.

ABA - American Birding Association This site represents an organization that maintains official records of all birds species that have been proven to have been seen inside the perimeters of the North American Continent and the surrounding bodies of water. Regular revised versions are posted to keep the bird list current at all times. This is the list used by all serious birders over their lifetime. You may be aware of the movie called the "Big Year". It was with this list that all the competing birders used in an attempt to set a new record as to how many bird species that could be seen by an individual birder in one calendar year.
