However, five species of neotrpical migrants have been reported as having a second breeding season on their way south and two old world species have been reported as having a second breeding season on their way north. A re-evaluation of the neotropical double breeders suggests that 2 of the 5 species are likely to have a second breeding season, two are unlikely, while the fifth species is "less likely" to have second breeding season. Do a search using the term "migratory double breeding". Cheers.
