G’day all

Are these terms interchangeable?

For example: The HANZAB entry for Little Shrikethrush movements states “Almost 
certainly sedentary, but widely described as resident in literature”

The glossary in the latest Pizzey states:

Sedentary: staying in the same locality throughout the year
Resident: remaining in one place all year; non-migratory

In volume 1a of HANZAB they state:

Resident: most individuals non-migratory though some may move long distances
Sedentary: most individuals not normally moving more than 50 km.

Would someone please explain the distinction with examples?

Cheers
Steve Clark
