distribution

breeds in Alaska and the Canadian Arctic and flies along the Pacific and Atlantic coasts to winter on the coast in the Americas, reaching the entire Brazilian coast and Uruguay. There are large gatherings in Delaware Bay, USA, but the species migrates in small flocks. Juveniles depart around one month after the adults, that is, from mid-August to September (van Gils & Wiersma, 1996; Araújo et al., 2014). During fall migration from September to November, the species first reaches the coast of Guyana and then migrates to the Gulf of Maranhão; during spring migration from March to May, it performs transoceanic flights from the coast of MA to North America (Rodrigues, 2000). In Brazil, it is seen all year round in some places: Lagoa do Peixe / RS (Belton, 1994), the coast of PE (Azevedo-Júnior et al., 2001), Mangue Seco / BA (Lima, 2006) and Caranguejo Island / MA (Carvalho & Rodrigues, 2011). Data from banding and recapture shows that the individuals that winter in PE originate from the east coast of the USA (Azevedo-Júnior et al., 2001).
