This may be a bit out of date now, but the 5th edition of the ABA
check-list (1996) says that there are 11 records in the ABA Area:

- fall migrants in Massachusetts and New Jersey (2)
- a bird that wintered in New Brunswick in 1988
- three spring and five fall migrants in the western Aleutians and the
Bering Sea, Alaska
- an individual at Alkali Lake, BC, 10 December 1946.
