Mainland. Common in Lower Fraser Valley. (_Brooks_.) During the
early part of May, 1891, I saw quite a number on the lakes of the
Cariboo District, where it probably breeds. (_Fannin_.)

An abundant resident throughout the Province, and found in great
numbers about the inlets and rivers in March and April; it breeds in
the interior of the Province. I have also seen it on the coast in June
and July.
