Migration

Sedentary to short- or medium-distance migrant. In the northern part of the species’ range, the birds are first detected in May, and there are very few records after September. In southern Arizona and New Mexico, some birds at lower elevations are detected year-round, but they are not found in higher elevations during winter.
