Migration

Resident or short-distance migrant. Black Phoebes don’t leave their breeding ranges entirely, but their numbers increase in winter in the southern parts of their range, indicating some individuals migrate southward. Some Black Phoebes move up to higher elevations for the breeding season and then back downslope for the rest of the year.

Map data for South American distribution provided by Robert S. Ridgley, remaining distributional data are provided by NatureServe in collaboration with Robert Ridgely, James Zook, The Nature Conservancy - Migratory Bird Program, Conservation International - CABS, World Wildlife Fund - US, and Environment Canada - WILDSPACE.
