ZOOLOGY— BIRDS. 



Ill New Mexico ami Arizona, this sparrow seems to be more nbuiidant 

 than farther to the north, taking the place here, in the summer, of the precedin tr 

 species. It seems fond of frequenting the thickets along the streams, but is 

 also an inhabitant of the plains, and quite partial to those covered with the 

 sage brush. Its musical abilities vary very much, though it everywhere is 

 very persistent in its efforts, and in a locality where these birds are common 

 the ear of an attentive listener will be greeted every few moments by the 

 music of its pleasant song. In Arizona, I noticed a great difference in the 

 quahty of the songs as compared with those I listened to in Soutliern 

 Colorado. In the fonuer locality, these wei^ quite well worth stopping to 

 hear, possessing a beautiful, smooth, warbling tone, much varied with low 

 trills. The nest is built in low bushes.
