Harpagus diodon (MGT):breeds from August to April in the Atlantic Forest and in forest fragments in the Cerrado, and overwinters mainly in the equatorial forests of the Amazon Basin with some individuals staying further north in the Guiana Shield (Cabanne & Seipke,2005; Lees & Martin, 2014). The species needs to be better studied in the Atlantic Forest in the northeastern region of Brazil to determine if records in austral winter are of a resident population, vagrant individuals (Lees & Martin, 2014) or overwintering individuals from the south (B. Whitney, pers. obs.). In RS, where it is considered rare, there are records in October, November and May (Belton, 1994).
