Resident over most of range, with high degree of territory fidelity; apparently migratory in S, with very large
individuals (S population) reported in Colombia during austral winter. Most common along Paraguay R in Jun,
when probably attracted by more abundant prey associated with high water levels. Transition between migratory
and resident populations in S undocumented. (del Hoyo J, Elliott A, Sargatal J (eds), 1994)
