Resident
Winter resident; Also spring and fall migrant. May occur as rare non-breeding summer resident. Zuzworsky's Jamaica Bay I&M reference lists this species as extirpated as a breeder as of 1997. Although a confirmed breeder in the 1985 NYBBA, there are no confirmations in the data collected as of 2003 for the update to the NYBBA. Confirmed breeder in the NYBBA online species lists for block: 1985 5949A. This block has high probability that breeding confirmations occur within park boundaries. Probablebreeding also for block: 1985 5949B. This block also encompasses suitable habitat that is outside of the park boundaries.; Data Source: Davis, T., Taft, D., and Riepe, D.
