Resident and partly migratory populations; many pairs sedentary in temperate regions. Birds breeding at high
latitudes and altitudes tend to winter in coastal and lowland areas; many migrate N, some (mostly females)
reaching New Guinea and Indonesia, W to Java and N to Moluccas. Also irruptive movements to arid regions
after good rains and to local plagues of prey species. (del Hoyo J, Elliott A, Sargatal J (eds), 1994)
