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 ns 
in small numbers after their breeding season is over. In tliis 
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.

IV. Winter Residents .—Winter residents, like summer resi¬ 
dents, 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.
