THE TREE SPARROW The Tree Sparrow, which resembles the Chipping Sparrow and is frequently called winter Chip Bird, is misnamed, for it is rarely ! seen in a tree and rarely builds its nest in a tree, 'preferring to build, as a rule, on the ground or in 'shrubbery. It is a rather large var iety of Sparrow, about six inches long. A small dark spot in a gray breast, ru fous .crown, gray stripe . above the eye and reddish upperparts streaked with black serve to identify this bird. In its feeding habits it iis mainly a vegetarian. It has been estimated that it consumes eight hundred seventy-five tons of weed seed annually in the state of lowa. It is also very fond of feeding on broom sedge. It prefers to feed to a great extent on the ground and in protected places. In the spring it builds a nest of grass, bark and feathers in Canada and Newfoundland, where it spends the summer. From four to seven pale greenish eggs finely specked with reddish-brown are laid. As a songster it has at tracted a great deal of at tention. The winter song has been described a? a “twittering trill.” Bur roughs says that “it sings a soft,- sweet note, almost running into a warble.” Chapman says “I like to see them feeding on the seed stalks above the crtist, and to hear their chorus of merry tinkling notes, like sparkling frost crystals turned to music.” t A few of these birds have been observed in Yan cey County during the win ter. We should listen for the winter song.— (James Hutchins, Windom, N. C.)
