Ecology and Life History

Migration

true - true - true - Basically a long-distance migrant in the U.S. and Canada; migrations may be more localized in some areas of the West. Extent of migration varies annually depending on environmental conditions. Arrives in Puerto Rico usually in November, departs by March-April (Raffaele 1983). In Costa Rica, often appears by mid-September but not regular before mid-October, departs by late March (Stiles and Skutch 1989).

Food Comments

Feeds on insects (ants, wasps, flys, beetles, mosquitoes, etc.), spiders, some berries and seeds. May drink tree sap. In fall, winter, and spring in the eastern U.S., feeds extensively on MYRICA fruits (Place and Stiles, 1992, Auk 109:334-345). Forages by moving slowly over trunks and branches, also catches insects in flight, and hops on ground picking up small insects and spiders or plucking them from grass (Costa Rica, Stiles and Skutch 1989).

Reproduction Comments

Clutch size is 4-5. Incubation lasts 12-13 days, by female. Nestlings are tended by both parents, brooded by female. Young leave nest in 12-14 days (Harrison 1978)

Ecology Comments

In winter, generally occurs in flocks; occasionally solitary (Rappole and Warner 1980).

Global Range

CORONATA breeds from Alaska and Mackenzie south through Canada to north-central and northeastern U.S.; winters from northwestern, central, and east-central U.S., eastern Mexico (including Yucatan Peninsula), through Central America to Panama (and accidently into northern Colombia and Venezuela), and in Caribbean from the Bahamas through the Greater Antilles, rarely as far east as Virgin Islands. AUDUBONI breeds from British Columbia south through the western U.S. into Baja California; winters from southwestern Canada south throughout western Mexico through Guatemala and uncommonly to Honduras. NIGRIFRONS breeds (and is probably a permanent resident) from northwestern Chihuahua south through the Sierra Madre Occidental through Durango and probably to Jalisco. GOLDMANI is a permanent resident of the highlands of western Guatemala and adjacent Chiapas.
