Relatively short distance migrant, which arrives on breeding grounds early, mid-Mar, and departs by mid-Aug.
Mostly moves across interior W half of USA, and also fairly common to uncommon across inland Mexico. Most
non-breeders spend all year in wintering range. Rarely winters S to N South America. (del Hoyo J,
