Migration

Resident to long-distance migrant. Breeding populations in the interior of North America and along the north Atlantic coast are completely migratory. Many western birds winter in Mexico, while many eastern birds migrate to the Gulf Coast or fly across the ocean to the Caribbean islands and South America.
