y. Winter Visitants .—Winter visitants are birds which may or 
may not visit us during the winter. As a rule their presence de¬ 
pends upon the severity of the winter. An unusually severe season 
sometimes forces boreal birds southward and they then may be 
found in numbers south of the limits of their regular winter homes.
