The birds are arranged in the order of their arrival from the South in
the vicinity of New York City. Nos. 1-19, 22-24, 26, 27, 30, 31, 36-38
winter in the Southern (chiefly Gulf) States. The remainder winter in
the tropics and reach the Southern States a month or more before they
arrive at New York. Compared with the dates here given for New York
City, Washington dates are from ten to fifteen days earlier; Boston,
about a week later; northern Ohio, eight to twelve days earlier;
northern Illinois, six to ten days earlier; southeastern Minnesota,
about the same as those for New York.
