It is consistently seen in small numbers, along the southern borders of central Canada and the odd reports in the eastern provinces of Canada, west into the central USA states, a narrow band reaching into California and east to the tip of Florida. This tanager is seen throughout the Caribbean islands and it has been seen as a migrant in Cuba.
