Migration
:
Exceptional
early Sep-early Oct in damp overgrown places where migrants concentrate. No records in the last 20 years. Not recorded in spring.
Miscellany: The early American ornithologist, Alexander Wilson, described this bird in 1812 based on a fall migrant he collected in Connecticut. It was a poor choice as the species doesn't breed anywhere near Connecticut and is at best an uncommon fall migrant in the state.
