in sweden female and young chaffinches migrate south in winter but some males stay behind in their breeding territories european blackbirds do the same it seems that the males that stay behind through the winter can hold on to the best breeding territories for when the females return in spring.

WHERE DID PEOPLE THINK SWALLOWS WENT IN WINTER?
they thought that they hibemated, perhaps ub hollow trees, or even in the mud at the bottom of ponds. this is not as crazy as it sounds in cold weather swallows often roost in groups in hollow trees or chimneys, and in spring they can be seen collecting mud at the edge of pools to make their nests.
