Occasional birds linger into December, with a handful documented over wintering. Breeding status considered probable in Kessel and Gibson 1978, but BoW suggests status is uncertain [1], and there are only a few reports of this species in summer. Are these actually R in summer in the region? - seemingly few reports Actually U at SGY Sp, Su, and Fall? Breeding status? - given overall range, if they are breeding, perhaps limited to NE mountains, and not typically observed? Full list of likely overwintering birds?
