III. Summer Visitants, — Comparatively few birds fall into 

 this group. As a rule the northern limit of their breeding range 

 is not far south of our southern boundaries and they sometimes 

 visit us in small numbers after their breeding season is over. 

 In this group may also be placed the Shearwaters and Petrels, 

 some of which are known to nest in the Antarctic Regions during 

 our winter. In the spring they migrate northward and pass the 

 summer off our coasts.

residents, like 



summer 



residents, may arrive long before and remain long after the season 

 which gives them their name. Our Junco, or Snowbird, for 

 example, comes from the north in September and remains until 

 April, but is a typical winter resident. That is, it arrives in the 

 fall and after passing the entire winter with us returns to its more 

 northern summer home in the spring.
