C. s. semipalmatus fairly sedentary, C. s. inornatus strongly migratory |
Race inornatus strongly migratory, but nominate fairly sedentary around Gulf of Mexico and in
Caribbean. Race inornatus moves in three main directions: almost due E to Atlantic coast of New York
and New England; SE & S to Atlantic and Gulf of coasts, with some moving into Caribbean and reaching
Surinam; fairly small numbers migrate SW to Pacific coast, from Oregon to N Peru, scarcely S to N Chile;
regular migrant to Galapagos in small numbers. Nominate race moves S down Atlantic coast into Caribbean and
to N South America, where occurs mainly in NC Brazil and Surinam. (del Hoyo J, Elliott A,
