Little known. At breeding grounds studies in Venezuela birds arrive Mar-May, probably depending on rains,
leaving again in Jan, when area dries up; normally travel in flocks of 50 or more; also some pre- and post-
breeding dispersal. May feed up to 30 km from nest; reported to fly in wedge-shaped formations. Sometimes
crosses Andes between Argentina and Chile. (del Hoyo J, Elliott A, Sargatal J (eds), 1992)
