Notes. Several biological notes on this ground-nesting species are available ( Hurd 1979), including from Missouri ( Rau 1922), Colorado ( Hicks 1926), New York ( Eickwort et al. 1981), North Carolina ( Krombein 1953) and Florida ( Krombein 1970). Shallow nests, a few inches long, were also observed in flat sandy soil in Michigan ( Gibbs 2017). One was adjacent to a highbush blueberry field in Van Buren County and a second was in a clearing at Rose Lake, Shiawassee County.
