Historical comments:
Kennicott (1854) "Abundant on the large prairies in the middle of the state ... known to breed in Cook County".
Nelson (1876) "Formerly very abundant during the migrations, and a common summer resident. Now rather uncommon 
in the migrations and a very rare summer resident. A pair nested on the Calumet marshes in spring of 1873. 
More numerous on the large marshes in central Illinois. Arrives the last of April and departs in October".
Ridgway (1881) "Transient in most localities. Formerly bred throughout the state in suitable localities, 
and still does so in the central and northern districts. Occasionally winters in the extreme southern counties."
Cooke (1888) "Occasionally found in winter in southern Illinois".
Cory (1909) "Once a common migrant in Illinois and Wisconsin, but is now rather rare".
