Partly migratory in S, some birds wintering in tropics; status uncertain in Sula Is and Lesser Sundas, but
probably only migrant to latter. In S, departure and locality of subsequent return determined by local rainfall:
birds leave in dry conditions, return to areas with good rains and plagues of prey. (del Hoyo J,
Elliott A, Sargatal J (eds), 1994)
