Individuals of race chalconota migarte irregularly in autumn or winter NE along Gulf of Mexico coast, reaching Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida; rarely even farther north; southward-directed migration recorded in Mexico as far as Veracruz. Race cerviniventris has been recorded in late summer from SW Campeche (Yucatan Peninsula). Nominate birds are presumed to winter further south within Mexico in Tabasco and Chiapas.
