Melospiza fasciata.—March 25,9 a.m.,a fine clear morning, bright 
sunshine, temperature about 40’, light wind from the North-east ; saw and 
heard nine Song Sparrows, along Don improvement and in Eastern 
Park, on an area of about three acres. They appeared to be quite 
numerous feeding among masses of chenopodium, polygonum, and 
solidago of last year’s growth. 
During the night of the 24th, the temperature fell to 29° with a strong 
north-easterly wind, ice formed a quarter of an inch thick. As the Spar- 
rows were not here on the 24th and as it is not likely they would cross the 
Lake in such a cold night, in face of a brisk wind, they most probably were 
resting during the night of the 24th among the Typhas and semi-aquatic 
vegetation of Toronto Marsh, and took the first opportunity of moving 
northwards on the warm morning of the 25th. The morning of the 26th 
was clear and warm but only one Song Sparrow was heard.
