Four or five occurrences in the British Islands of
this American Cuckoo have been recorded, and a few
on the continent of Europe.
Its true home is North America, where it resides
during the summer months and where it breeds as well
as in some of the West-Indian islands. In winter it
migrates to South America, where it has been traced
as far south as Argentina. [0. S.]
