Clarke) Newsgroups: rec.birds Subject: Wintering in the Summertime Summary: Do some birds "winter" in the N. Hemisphere in our summer? Message-ID: Date: 5 Jun 91 13:00:23 GMT Organization: Rutgers Univ., New Brunswick, N.J. Lines: 6 I hope that this is the right forum for this question. There are a great number of birds in North America that winter in South America, some as far as Argentina. Now, I suppose that these birds are "wintering" in a locale that is then in it's summer. I would also assume that these birds are non_breeding and interact with local bird population which is breeding. With the exception of a few pelagic species, such as a several species of Albatross, are they any species of bird that the main portion of the species "winters" in the Northern Hemisphere's summer? I can't think of any. J. Christopher Clarke jclarke@remus.rutgers.edu
