'■ Common, esp>ecially in autumn. Some years the young are very com- 

 mon during the first lo days of September." This species is so generally 

 distributed that it must certainly occur at every station in its range. A 

 little more careful and extended search will reveal it.

It thus appears that this species is somewhat restricted locally. Prof. 

 Kumlein reports it as " very common in spring. A few undoubtedly nest 

 in the state. Less plenty in September." Mr. David L. Savage has sent 

 me the skin of a female taken May 20, 1894, with its nest and eggs, in 

 Dallas Co., Iowa, by Fred Hamlin. This is the first state record of a nest.
