This species is a typical coastal species inhabiting mudflats and salt marshes from New Brunswick to southern Florida and along the Florida Gulf coast; it is also known from the Bahamas and the coast of Cuba. The breeding populations in New Brunswick were discovered only recently. Whether the species had been in the area for some time but went unnoticed, or extended its range in recent years, is the subject of speculation.
