H - >2,500,000 square km (greater than 1,000,000 square miles) - H - BREEDS: locally from southeastern Alaska, British Columbia, and southwestern Alberta south through the Pacific states to southern California; northwestern Montana, Colorado, Utah, northern New Mexico (Johnson 1990), and southeastern Arizona (Knorr and Knorr 1990); locally in highlands from Nayarit, Puebla, and Veracruz south to Guatemala, Honduras, and Costa Rica; locally in the West Indies in Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola, Puerto Rico, Montserrat, Guadeloupe, Dominica, Martinique, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent (Sibley and Monroe 1990). WINTER RANGE is poorly known; northern populations may winter in South America, and the supposedly resident populations in Middle America and the Antilles may in fact also winter in South America, though direct evidence is lacking (Stiles and Negret 1994).
