distribution

breeds in North America and migrates to Central America during boreal winter (including the Antilles and Bahamas) and to the south as far as southern Argentina (van Gils & Wiersma, 1996). Individuals banded in Canada and the USA in July and August were recovered in the northern and northeastern regions of Brazil (as far as northern BA) in October, November, December and January (Mestre et al., 2010). The species seems to be resident in the northern Amazon Basin in Macapá / AP (Campos et al., 2008). It is common near lakes and rivers in the Amazon Basin and can be seen near Manaus / AM from July to April (Stotz et al., 1992), rarely in flocks (van Gils & Wiersma, 1996). It overwinters in or uses the Pantanal as a stopover ground (Nunes & Tomas, 2008) and it is recorded for RS between September and April (Belton, 1984). It appears in Brazil only from August to May in all states. There are some scarce records during the austral winter (WikiAves, 2016; MZUSP; MNRJ; MPEG), but they are probably of juveniles, since some one-year-old shorebirds mostly stay on wintering grounds through their first summer (Cristol et al., 1999).
