AMMODRAMUS SAVANNARUM AUSTRALIS Maynard: Eastern Grasshopper Sparrow 



The first arrival in spring was recorded at Brandenburg on April 

 20, and on April 27 a male was taken 4 miles southeast of that town. 

 A colony was located in June 4 miles east of Monticello, and two 

 adult males and a young bird able to fly were obtained on June 11. 

 Other males were collected 5 miles northeast of Quincy on July 11 

 and at Fullerton on July 12. 



AMMODRAMUS SAVANNARUM BIMACULATUS Swainson: Western Grasshopper Sparrow 



On April 30 an adult male of the western form of the grasshopper 

 sparrow was taken 6 miles northwest of Brandenburg. As another 

 secured 10 miles to the southeast is the eastern form, this bird must 

 be a migrant enroute to some breeding ground to the northwest. 

 Further studies should be made to determine whether the western 

 race is regularly present in migration in western Kentucky. 



PASSERHERBULUS CAUDACUTUS (Latham) : LeConte's Sparrow 



At dusk on October 24 a little over a mile west of South Carrollton 

 a little flock of these birds flew into a growth of bush-clover {Lespe- 

 deza) in a lowland field. The three specimens taken constitute one 

 of the interesting finds of the work of the fall season. 



POOECETES GRAMINEUS GRAMINEUS (Gmelin) : Eastern Vesper Sparrow 



The vesper sparrow was seen at Brandenburg on April 20. In fall 

 migration specimens were taken at Bedford on October 13, Golden 

 Pond on November 3, and Cadiz on November 4. 



CHONDESTES GRAMMACUS GRAMMACUS (Say) : Eastern Lark Sparrow 



The only lark sparrow from Kentucky available is a male taken at 

 Wickland estate, near Bardstown, Nelson County, April 25, 1877, by 

 C. W. Beckham. 



AIMOPHILA AESTIVALIS BACHMANI (Audubon) : Bachman's Sparrow 



The only specimen obtained is a male shot 6 miles northwest of 

 Brandenburg on April 21. This bird is identified as hac/i/mani 

 though it is somewhat intermediate toward the more western race, 



JUNCO HYEMALIS HYEMALIS (Linnaeus) : Slate-colored Junco 



This common winter resident and migrant was obtained as follows : 

 Ghent, October 14 ; Madison ville, October 20 ; Canton, October 29 and 

 31 ; and Eoundhill, November 7.
