An adult found at Kamloops (southern interior BC) on 18 December 1988 and
photographed three days later. Reproduced in Campbell et al., Birds of
British Columbia, vol. 2 (1990), p. 628, where it is noted that the
identification was verified by W. Earl Godfrey and Paul Lehman, who
inspected the photographs.
