distribution

breeds in northern Canada and Alaska, and overwinters mainly in South America (Gratto-Trevor & Dickson, 1994). It flies non-stop for as long as 4,000 km and is known to form flocks of 350,000 individuals. The species presents high fidelity to its breeding sites, but little is known about its wintering areas. Around 2 / 3 of the juveniles remain in non-breeding areas throughout the year (van Gils & Wiersma, 1996). Long-distance migration between the wintering area in the Southern Hemisphere and the breeding area in high latitudes from the Northern Hemisphere are interspersed with long stopover periods for energy storing, especially in Delaware Bay on the east coast of the USA, where it usually begins to arrive in early May and remains until early June (Mizrahi et al., 2012). In the Amazonian region, there are records throughout the year for PA and AP (Stotz et al., 1992; Campos et al., 2008; WikiAves, 2016) with a population peak in AP in November and December (Campos et al., 2008). There are recent records in all coastal states (WikiAves, 2016). It is recorded all year round in PE, CE and MA and there are population peaks on Caranguejo Island / MA during the fall migration from Sep
