Most migratory birds spend their winters in one habitat and then fly to a new area in the springtime to breed.

They'll raise one or more broods of young there. Then, come fall, they begin the trip back to their wintering grounds.

But a new study suggests the Phenopepa, a jet black bird, Then, come fall, they begin the trip back to their wintering grounds.

But a new study suggests the Phano Pepla, a jet black bird with a body type like a small cardinal, may have a different strategy.

They might be itinerant breeders. So they breed once in one area, then they migrate.

They go somewhere else and they breed a second time in that new area. State University of New York, Oswego, evolutionary biologist Daniel Baldassari. For the

Phaepla, that means nesting in the desert southwest during the springtime before flying to

the oak woodlands of the California coast for the summer.

Baldassari says bird watchers have long suspected that Fano Peplas are itinerant breeders.

One hint that the same birds might be breeding in two different habitats was their vocal behavior.

The pointy-headed songbirds are talented mimics, often copying the vocalizations of other bird species.

If you look at desert birds, they actually can mimic some species that you don't find in the desert, bird species that you would only find

out in these woodland habitats.

And the reverse is also true.

Phanopeplas and woodland habitats will mimic species that are only found in the desert.

But to confirm that individual phenopeplas really do spend the breeding season in two
