Historical comments:
Kennicott (1854) "Common throughout the state". "Known to nest in Cook County".
Nelson (1876) "Formerly a not uncommon resident, now occurs only in winter and is rare".
Ridgway (1889) "Very local and nowhere abundant in Illinois. The writer has seen it only in the bottoms of Big Creek and about the borders of
Fox Prairie in Richland County where up to 1871 at least, one or two pairs might be seen at any time, usually soaring in circles over the timber".
