II. Summer Residents . — Summer residents, as the name im¬ 
plies, are birds found here during the summer. They may, how¬ 
ever, arrive early in March and remain until December, as do the 
blackbirds and woodcock, or that may not come until May and 
leave us in August. Summer residents, then, are birds which come 
to us at varying times in the spring and after nesting here, return 
to their more southern winter resorts in the fall.
