PERMANENT RESIDENTS. 



Permanent Eesident species are those which are 

 represented in the same locahty throughout the 

 year. This does not imply that the same individuals 

 live in one locahty continuously ; few of our birds 

 being Permanent Kesidents in the strict sense of the 

 word. Doubtless, Puffed Grouse, Bob- whites, and 

 possibly a few other species pass their lives in the 

 vicinity of their birth ; but most species ranked as 

 Permanent Pesidents are, in fact, more or less mi- 

 gratory. Thus, in the vicinity of New York cit}^, 

 Chickadees and Bluebirds are found every month 

 of the year ; but in October, many migrants of both 

 species may be seen, and it is probable that Ave then 

 receive our Winter Pesidents of these species, while 

 the birds that were with us during the summer go 

 farther south to pass the winter.
