Northernmost breeders descend to lower latitudes to winter in Atlantic seaboard of North America, usually as far
S as Atlanta and Texas. Reported as vagrant from Korea, Puerto Rico and western Europe (particularly Britain),
where some have stayed for long time, even hybridizing with local A. platyrhnchos. (del Hoyo J,
