THE BIRDS OF THE LUCKNOW CIVIL DIVISION. 71 
When flushed it usually utters its sharp sibilant note, and 
seldom flies far. 
892.—Totanus ochropus, Lin. 
The Green Sandpiper is common during the cold weather, 
frequenting the same localities as the last species. 
I am inclined to consider this Sandpiper a permanent resident. 
During the latter part of the hot, and for the first half of the 
rainy, seasons, it is, no doubt, exceedingly rare. I may be 
wrong, but my impression is decidedly in favor of recognizing 
it as a permanent resident, though the majority undoubtedly 
migrate.* 
893.—Tringoides hypoleucus, Lin. 
The Common Sandpiper is never so abundant as the last 
species, and is only, so far as I know, a cold weather visitor ; 
usually seen solitary or in pairs about pools of water, jhils and 
rivers. 
894.—Totanus glottis, Zin. Native name—TZun- 
tuna, 
The Greenshanks frequents the same localities as the last 
species, and is usually seen alone or in small parties, but only 
during the cold weather. 
895.—Totanus stagnatilis, Bechst. 
The Lesser Greenshanks is common during the cold weather. 
Though usually seen alone or in small gangs, it is occasionally 
met with in vast flocks, and frequents the same haunts as the 
last species. 
896.—Totanus fuscus, Lin. Native name—Guini 
or Soorma. 
My remarks on the last species apply equally to the Spotted 
Redshanks. 
897.—Totanus calidris, Zin. 
The Redshanks is a common cold weather visitor, usually 
seen in flocks, and often very large ones, particularly on 
shallow jhils, where they seem to congregate if not disturbed. 
* It most certainly is purely a cold season visitant to the Lucknow Division. The 
fact of a few weakly or wounded birds, failing (if this be the fact) to make the 
regular migration, cannot entitle a species to be considered permanent residents.—Zd.
