| The patchy distribution of this species
throughout Middle America is largely determined by the availability
of their Savanna and open farmland habitat. I once saw a bird
in one of the dry savannas in the West of the county near Cucuyagua.
I have also seen this species on both of my visits to the savannas
of coastal Mosquitia. A surprise sighting was an immature bird
in fields near the Rio Jiboa in El Salvador in May 2005. I later
discovered that Oliver Komar also saw a young bird there a few
years ago. Whether these are breeding locally, or wandering
youngsters, is not clear. There are a few other records for
the country. |
