The Status of the Black-Throated Loon (Gavia arctica) as a North American Bird
Hershey FS. 1917. The Status of the Black-Throated Loon (Gavia arctica) as a North American Bird. The Auk. 34(3):283-290
IN collecting and tabulating data for use in the distributional portion of Mr. A. C. Bent's work on the Life-Histories of North American Birds, the published material on the Black-throated Loon was found to be unsatisfactory,-the records of various observers being frequently indefinite or in many cases not based on actual specimens secured. The earlier writers gave the species a rather wide range in North America, which has been gradually restricted until in the present A. 0. U. Check-List it is stated to breed only in the Kotzebue Sound region of- Alaska, and from Cumberland Sound south to Ungava, while some half dozen scattering localities in the United States are said to have been visited casually in winter.
