THE 



BIRDS OF MONTREAL 



BY 



ERNEST D. W1NTLE, 



"ASSOCIATE MEMBER OF THE AMERICAN ORNITHOLOGISTS UNION." 



Birds observed in the vicinity of Montreal, Province of Quebec, 



Dominion of Canada, with annotations as to whether they 



are "Permanent Residents''' or those that are found 



regularly throughout the year ; " Winter Visitants," 



or those that occur only during the winter season, 



passing north in the spring; "Transient 



Visitants," or those that occur only 



during migrations in spring and 



autumn ; " Summer Residents," 



or those that are known to 



breed, but which depart 

 southward before winter ; and 

 " Accidental Visitants," or strag- 

 glers from remote districts ; giving 

 their relative abundance as to whether 

 they are rare, scarce, common or abundant; 

 data of nests and eggs when found, and especially 

 noting the species that breed in the City and Mount 

 Royal Park ; also data o/ migratory arrivals and de- 

 partures, and other notes, all of which are deduced 

 from original observations made during the past fifteen years.
