Of these the first three are winter visitors only, and it is to be noticed that the male is 
at least two years in acquiring its fall plumage which is of blended character. The 
fourth finds its southern breeding limit with us and acquires its final pattern during its 
first year thought it is not perfected in color until later. 
The two following breed with us and southward, acquire their adult plumage*<in the 
first year, and their females loose their streaks, having the same pattern though they 
differ in color from their males.
