**Birds of Passage**, a name given to those birds which at certain stated seasons of the year remove from certain countries, and at other stated times return to them again, as our quails, woodcocks, storks, nightingales, swallows, and many other species. Among the birds of passage, the fieldfare, the redwing, the woodcock, and the snipe, come to us in the autumn, at the time when the summer-birds are leaving us, and go from us again in spring, at the time when these return; and of these the two last often continue with us through the summer, and breed; so that the two first seem the only kinds that certainly leave us at the approach of spring, retiring to the northern parts of the continent, where they live during the summer, and breed; and at the return of winter, are driven southerly from those frigid climes, in search of food, which there the ice and snow must deprive them of.
