Migratory to resident; southernmost breeders migrate N in Mar-Apr and return Aug-Sept; some remain close to
breeding grounds, even on Tierra del Fuego; most birds from Falkland Is migrate to mainland after breeding, but
unknown proportion residents. Apparently faithful to wintering sites. Gathers in post-breeding flocks prior to
northward migration. (del Hoyo J, Elliott A, Sargatal J (eds), 1996)
