It is very probable that the present species is a quite regular winter 

 visitant, arriving in small numbers in the autumn and remaining until 

 spring. Unlike some of the other shore-birds it frequents the Carib- 

 bean lowlands and the eastern part of the plateau region. I frequently 

 saw them on the "Old Line" during December and January, but 

 secured no specimens.
