Summer Residents. 



This group, as the name implies, includes all birds 

 found in this locality only during the warmer months 

 and breeding. They may, however, arrive early in 

 March and remain until November, as do the Wood- 

 cock (Philohela minor \Gm.el.'\) and Wood Duck (Aix 

 sponsa \Linn^ ), or they may merely breed and return 

 to the south in August, as do the Rough-winged Swal- 

 low (Stelgidopteryx serripennis [Aud.]) and Worm- 

 eating Warbler (Helmitherus vermivorus [Gmel.]).
