distribution
breeds in southern South America, on the Malvinas / Falklands, and departs between March and April to its northern wintering areas, which includes Buenos Aires, Argentina and the southern and southeastern regions of Brazil (as far as RJ), and returns between August and September (Belton, 1984; Wiersma, 1996; Azpiroz et al., 2012). It apparently exhibits two migratory routes: one over the Pacific and another over the Atlantic (Blanco et al., 2004). Records confirm the presence of this species between April and August in RJ, SP, PR, SC and RS (Cestari, 2008; Ghizoni-Jr. & Azevedo, 2010; Simpson & Simpson, 2011; WikiAves, 2016; MZUSP).
