 pond and on tall grass clumps and weeds in the bunch grass

The song is quite distinct from that of Orchelimmn zndgare. 

 It generally consists of from two to four (usually three) rapid 

 clicks, followed by a tze-e-e-e-e-e-e-e of moderate length ; this

 in a low meadow pasture near the Warren Woods Preserve: 

 the rest are from the low, marshy borders of Klute's lakes, 

 among the grasses and sedges, and from the low bushes grow- 

 ing around the shores. The species is apparently not common 

 in this region. It is recorded by Hancock under the name of 

 OrcJieliriiiiin dclicatuni from Lakeside, August, 1910.
