In flight, the Groove-billed Ani (Crotophaga sulcirostris) does not present an image of long-distance vagrancy capabilities. Yet, from the northern extent of its present breeding range, i.e., the southern Rio Grande Valley of Texas, it has been recorded as “accidental” north to Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma (AOU Check-list, 1957). Farther west, it has wandered to Nevada (Kingery, Am. Birds 29:95, 1975) and recently to California (McCaskie, Am. Birds 29:122, 1975).
