Breeding birds of Ontario : nidiology and distribution /

“…The first breeding evidence obtained in the province came from Attawapiskat in 1939, and the first nests were found in 1942, also along the southern James Bay coast (Baillie, 1960). Later exploration revealed that it is found mainly along the James Bay coast, but is also found along the shores of Hudson Bay at least as far west as Winisk (Manning, 1952;Schueler et al, 1974). A disjunct inland population breeds in the prairie provinces, and a few birds from that population may breed as far east as extreme western…”

“…Breeding by the Lapland Longspur in Ontario was first confirmed in 1947 at Cape Henrietta Maria (Manning, 1952). All additional records have also come from the Cape region where the species is relatively common in summer (Baillie, 1962).…”

“…It breeds at or above treeline all along the Hudson Bay coast. Although Manning (1952) noted these birds along most of the James Bay coast in early summer, there is no evidence that it nests farther south than the approximate limit of trees reaching the coast near Lake River.…”

“…All additional records have also come from the Cape region where the species is relatively common in summer (Baillie, 1962). It probably breeds along the Hudson Bay coast at least as far west as the Sutton River (Manning, 1952), but it does not appear to occupy tundra areas along the entire coast. Breeds on open, treeless tundra.…”

“…In Volume 1 we indicated that no nests had ever been found, but the record from Cape Henrietta Maria in 1947 (Manning, 1952) did include the finding of a nest. Mr Manning has kindly provided us with a photograph (ROM PR 1361) taken at that time.…”
