They are permanent residents in the southern parts of their range; northern birds migrate to the southern United States and Mexico in winter, returning to their summer habitat around March or April.

Lovely photo!
They are interesting birds but I hate the way they "stake out" all the bluebird houses!
This is such a lovely, atmospheric photo!
