Range (Migrates through southeastern)

Migrates through southeastern United States and Mississippi Valley (South Carolina, Virginia, Missouri, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota); summer home unknown: winters in the Bahamas. Washington, casual T. V., one record, Sept. 25, 1887. The dozen or more specimens of this rare Warbler which have been taken in the United States were captured in late April and May and late September and October. Six specimens have been recorded from Michigan, all taken in May, and it is possible these birds were en route to a nesting ground in the Hudson Bay region. It is not uncommon in winter in the Bahamas.
