Arrives from Africa in about April and flies back there around October.

The bird on the left of the second photo shows rufous-buff underparts. This may be a sub-species since there are two with rufous-buff underparts. One is H. r. erythrogaster which breeds in North America and winters in South America and the other is H. r. transitiva which breeds in the eastern Mediterranean. I am grateful to Rick Northup for his comments on this bird.
