Not truly migratory; some populations (e.g. Iceland, southern Rocky Mts) mostly sedentary, whereas others
undertake longer trips to winter along Pacific coast of Alaska and Canada and Atlantic coast of NE North
America. A few record W Europe, possibly better attributable to escapes. (del Hoyo J, Elliott A,
