 2. This indicates the occurrence & relative abundance of each species. Status classifications are broken down as follows:

Visitants (a species which is regularly found on the mainland, whether breeding or not, in the immediate vicinity of Swan Island) and

Probable Breeder (a species which one might reasonably expect to find nesting on Swan Island due to favorable habitat or presence of singing males)

Occasional - seen 1 to 2 times during observation period

Uncommon - seen 1 to 3 times per month

Fairly Common - seen 1 to 3 times per week

Common - seen 4 to 6 6imes per week

Numerous - 1 to 30 individuals seen per day

Abundant - 31+ individuals seen per day

Migrants (a bird not breeding on Swan Island or immediate mainland vicinity)

Uncommon - 1 to 5 individuals seen during entire period when species is expected as a migrant.

Fairly common - 1 to 20 individuals seen in one day during expected migrating period

Common - 21 to 50 individuals seen per day during migrating period

Numerous - 51 to 200 individuals seen per day during migrating period

Abundant - 201+ individuals seen per day during migrating period
