Historical comments:
Nelson (1876) "Once an abundant migrant, but is now of rare
occurrence in this vicinity. Along the Illinois River and more
thinly
settled portions of the state it is still common during
migrations, and a
few pairs breed upon the large marshes in central Illinois".
Loucks (1892) "A rare migrant. Only a few have been shot here".
Woodruff (1907) "Mr. B. T. Gault informs me that his observations
show that they arrive early in the spring and that the latest
record
of their return in the fall is August 6".
Unaccepted records:
