Mainly migratory and dispersive, though populations in S of range can be more or less sedentary. Highly
gregarious on migration and in winter, forming concentrations of up to hundreds of thousands at certain sites in
N America and Asia: at Great Salt Lake, Utah, and Mono Lake, California, sites for primary moult and migration
staging; at Salton Sea, California, with c. 500,000 birds in winter; and in S Caspian Sea. Much movement
apparently nocturnal, although diurnal migration also recorded in Palearctic. Straggler to Hawaii; also to Azores,
Madeira and Canaries. (del Hoyo J, Elliott A, Sargatal J (eds), 1992)
