^Winter Visitant — comes from its northern breeding-grounds to winter here. 



^Permanent Resident— inhabits the coast region of South Carolina throughout the year. 



■^Summer Resident — comes from its southern winter home to breed here, returning in the fall. 



■'Transient Visitant — passes through here in the spring and fall on the way between its 

 southern winter home and its northern breeding-grounds. 



^Difficulty in distinguishing these forms from one another has led to confusion, so that 

 comparison with 1906 records would be of no value.
