Centronyx bairdi {Audubon). Baird's Sparrow. 1/4. 



A very rare egg and a very pretty one. A creamy ground colour 

 is suffused with reddish-pink blotches and markings which are 

 more intense at the large end, like one type of Erithacus ruhecula. 

 The bird, of course, is not rare on the western prairies, but the 

 nest is difficult to find, and consequently the eggs are seldom 

 seen in collections.
