intracontinental, possible residents, status unclear in Brazil |
Migratory, at least in southernmost populations; insufficient data to assess status (resident, migratory or
wintering) throughout Brazilian distribution. Birds in N South America were thought to be all migrants from S,
but breeding record from Trinidad suggests that others may breed in appropriate habitat in this region. Records
from Pacific slope in Colombia and Chile suggest species may occasionally cross Andes. Occasional visitor to
Tierra del Fuego; recently recorded on Falkland Is. (del Hoyo J, Elliott A, Sargatal J (eds), 1994)
